Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Higher levels of stress associated with particular events in one's social environment are associated with an increased chance or probability of mental disorder. A traumatic event, such as sexual assault, may produce adverse mental health consequences. Ethnicity, the physical environment, and social class are risk factors not associated with sexual assault.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: When the disorder is severe, chronic, and unremittinginvolvin g repeated hospitalizations, traveling between health care providers and health care facilities, and pathological lying of an intriguing and fantastic nature (termed pseudologica fantastica)it is often referred to as Munchausen syndrome or adult factitious disorder (AFD). Factitious disorder by proxy sometimes called Munchausen by proxy syndrome (MBPS) occurs when parents or caregivers deliberately induce signs of an illness in another person, usually their own child. There is no evidence the client is suffering from dissociative identity disorder or a somatoform disorder.
