Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Hypnosis is an effective modality for patients with DID, helping with affective regulation, modulating anxiety, and promoting self-soothing. Additional therapies for dissociative disorders are art, music, and dance therapies; these therapies help the patient to improve concentration, work through affective material, and enhance problem-solving skills. Acupuncture is not commonly used in the treatment of DIDs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Determining patients' level of safety and encouraging patients to recognize triggers are an important initial intervention to ensure safety and promote stress reduction and healthy coping. The nurse should not encourage the patient to increase contact with friends and family or assist the patient in distancing from family members until there is a clarification of the relationships and their role in the patient's life. Disregarding the patient's other personalities does not promote effective role performance and is not the correct answer.
