Answer to Question 1

B
Dissociative fugue is characterized by unexpected travel or bewildered wandering, and amnesia for all or part of one's past. Dissociative fugue is a subtype of dissociative amnesia.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should anticipate that the primary therapeutic goal for a client diagnosed with DID is to collaborate among subpersonalities to improve functioning. Some clients choose to pursue a lengthy therapeutic regimen to achieve integration, a blending of all the personalities into one. The goal is to optimize the client's ability to function appropriately and achieve optimal personal potential.
