Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The ability to recall previously repressed or dissociated material is an indication that the patient is integrating identity and memory. A patient may verbalize feeling safe but may be disoriented and have memory deficits. A patient may be able to function independently on a basic level without being able to remember significant information. Attending activities is possible without being able to remember antecedent events.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Dissociative identity disorder involves the existence of two or more distinct subpersonalities, each with its own patterns of relating, perceiving, and thinking. At least two of the subpersonalities take control of the person's behavior but leave the individual unable to remember the periods of time in which the subpersonality is in control.
