Answer to Question 3

ANS:
B, E
Rationale: Impaired environmental interpretation syndrome refers to consistent lack of orientation to
person, place, time. Defensive coping is defined as repeated projection of falsely positive
self-evaluation based on a self-protective pattern that defends against underlying perceived threats to
positive self-regard. The other options are relevant to the scenario.
