    Which assessment made by a client best supports dissociative fugue?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: This reflects generalized anxiety and does not indicate dissociative symptoms. Choice B reason: Feeling like living in a dream state suggests depersonalization or derealization, which are dissociative symptoms but not specific to fugue. Choice C reason: Inability to recall personal history or how one arrived in a location is a classic feature of dissociative fugue. Fugue involves sudden travel and amnesia for identity or life events, making this the most diagnostic response. Choice D reason: This statement is more aligned with dissociative identity disorder (DID), where internal conflict between identities is common.
