The nurse is caring for a client with a conversion disorder. Which of the following assessments would the nurse expect to see?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A reason: Extreme distress is not typical of conversion disorder. Clients often show little concern about symptoms despite their severity. Choice B reason: Labile mood may occur in other psychiatric conditions but is not a defining feature of conversion disorder. Choice C reason: Multiple physical complaints are more characteristic of somatic symptom disorder, not conversion disorder. Choice D reason: Indifference about the physical symptom, known as "la belle indifférence," is a hallmark of conversion disorder. Clients appear unconcerned about significant physical deficits.
