Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The inability to recall the past is indicative of a fugue disorder. The remaining options are not characteristics of dissociative fugue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cognitive theorists believe that patients with somatic symptoms misinterpret the meaning of body functions and sensations and become overly alarmed by them and so help patients to reinterpret the meaning of body sensations. Continuing to challenge the patient regarding the belief is not therapeutic and should be avoided. Reinterpretation of thoughts is an appropriate cognitive approach. Rewarding appropriate behavior is a behavioral technique. Encouraging a second opinion is not helpful at this point since it is not likely to change his belief.
