A client is newly diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. To support this client, who is struggling to accept the diagnosis, the nurse would:
1. Flood the client with stressful stimuli.
2. Actively listen to each identity state and provide support.
3. Assess for secondary gain to confront the client.
4. Discourage the use of psychometric tests.
