Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: The nurse should recognize and understand the patient conceptualizes the symptoms to be physical in nature. The nurse should not encourage expression of feelings symbolically through physical symptoms. Patient anxiety should be addressed immediately, not at a later time. The patient should express an increased, not decreased, degree of comfort regarding physical symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Nursing diagnoses for patients with dissociative disorder are based on safety level and patient's current intensity of dissociation and amnesia. Patients who are parents may experiencing impairment of their parenting abilities as a result of the disorder. Other appropriate nursing diagnoses include: Suicide, Risk for; Violence: Self-Directed, Risk for; Self-Mutilation; Personal Identity: Disturbed; Fear; Hopelessness; and Powerlessness. All other answer choices are not related to dissociative disorder.
