To assess patients effectively,the nurse must understand that the essential difference between somatoform disorders and dissociative disorders is that somatoform disorders:

A) involve the expression of anxiety through bodily sensation or function,and dissociative disorders alter consciousness,recall,and awareness of self.
B) follow a particularly traumatic event,whereas dissociative disorders are responses to the accumulation of distress from multiple stressors.
C) usually affect persons older than age 40,whereas dissociative disorders are primarily disorders of persons younger than age 40.
D) involve the patient being unaware that they have a psychological problem,whereas persons with dissociative disorders are fully aware they are troubled.
