Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: A person with dissociative fugue wanders, usually far from home and for days, perhaps even weeks or months, at a time. During this period, clients completely forget their past life and associations; but unlike people with amnesia, they are unaware of having forgotten anything. When they return to their former consciousness, they do not remember the period of fugue.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Dietary practices are lifestyle habits that will influence the client's ability to adhere to the treatment plan. Marital status or social environment may or may not influence if the client adheres to the dietary recommendations. Age should not influence the client's ability to adhere to the dietary recommendations.
