Question 11

Seemingly out of the blue, one day Rachel loses all memory of her past and even her own identity. A week later, police find her wandering in a city hundreds of miles from home, with no sense of how or why she went there. When she is admitted to the hospital, she is most likely to be diagnosed with
A) dissociative amnesia with fugue state.
B) depersonalization/derealization disorder.
C) schizophrenia.
D) dissociative identity disorder.

Accepted Answer

The sudden loss of memory and identity, combined with the inability to recall how she ended up in a city far from home, suggests that Rachel may be experiencing dissociative amnesia with a fugue state. This disorder involves a temporary loss of one's sense of identity and memory for one's past, along with impulsive travel or wandering. This is different from depersonalization/derealization disorder, which involves persistent feelings of detachment from oneself or the world. Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder have different symptoms that don't fit Rachel's case.

A) dissociative identity disorder.

C) dyscalculalia.
D) illness anxiety disorder.

A) minor neurological symptoms that do not produce impairment in function.
B) physical impairments that are due to an underlying medical condition.

The word "functional" in "Functional neurological symptom disorder" refers to abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. This disorder is characterized by neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by an underlying medical condition or any structural abnormality in the nervous system. The symptoms may include weakness, numbness, seizures, tremors, and movement disorders, and they occur as a result of the brain's response to stress or emotional trauma.

Question 19

Problem-focused coping is more likely to be effective and healthy, compared to emotion-focused coping, when
A) the person is a skilled communicator.
B) the person is a woman.
C) the situation is changeable.
D) the situation is uncontrollable.

Accepted Answer

Problem-focused coping is designed to directly address and manage the stressor or problem at hand. This type of coping is more effective when the situation is changeable, meaning the individual can take action to alter the situation or remove the stressor. In contrast, emotion-focused coping aims to regulate emotions and reduce the negative emotional response to the stressor. This type of coping may be more helpful when the situation is uncontrollable, as individuals may be unable to change the situation and must therefore focus on managing their emotional response. Skill in communication or gender are not necessarily relevant factors in determining the effectiveness of coping strategies.

Question 20

Which of the following describes the relationship between age and coping strategies?
A) Older individuals tend to use more effective coping strategies than younger individuals.
B) Younger individuals tend to use more effective coping strategies than older individuals.
C) Younger and older individuals do not differ in their use of coping strategies, which are predominantly problem-focused.
D) Younger and older individuals do not differ in their use of coping strategies, which are predominantly emotion-focused.

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that older individuals tend to use more effective coping strategies than younger individuals. This may be due to the fact that older individuals have had more life experience and have developed a larger repertoire of coping strategies to draw upon.
