Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who reports feeling detached from their surroundings, as if they are in a dream. Which of the following disorders should the nurse suspect?

A. Dissociative identity disorder B. Depersonalization/derealization disorder C. Post-traumatic stress disorder D. Schizophrenia

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Depersonalization/derealization disorder. This disorder is characterized by feeling detached from surroundings, like being in a dream. This symptom aligns with the client's report of feeling detached. Dissociative identity disorder (
A) involves multiple distinct identities. Post-traumatic stress disorder (
C) is marked by flashbacks and hyperarousal, not detachment. Schizophrenia (
D) includes hallucinations and delusions, not detachment. Other choices are not relevant. In summary, the detachment described by the client is indicative of depersonalization/derealization disorder.
