This is a temporary alteration in her consciousness, and the other options do not fit her symptoms. B) Conversion disorder involves physical symptoms that cannot be explained by medical conditions, C) Psychogenic fugue is a dissociative state characterized by amnesia and a loss of personal identity, and D) Delusional schizophrenia involves the presence of delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thinking. None of these options fit Sarah's symptoms as described in the scenario.
