<span>Munchausen Syndrome is a psychological condition in which an individual complains of (and may exhibit) symptoms of a physical disorder for the purpose of obtaining sympathy, attention, and comfort. Because the patient is exhibiting symptoms of a physical disorder which they do not have, it is possible for the physician to be fooled into believing that the patient suffers from the displayed disorder rather than from Munchausen's Syndrome. A doctor might suspect that a patient suffers from Munchausen's rather than the underlying condition when tests reveal that underlying physical causes are absent, when the patient presents an uncommon desire for attention to her illness, or when behaviors such as frequent hospitalizations, doctor shopping, or in-depth knowledge of multiple diseases are present.</span>

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Based on these observations, what type of subsistence pattern do you think this group is using, would be: the hunter-gathering system of subsistence.

Explanation:

The case being exposed in this question is the typical example of the nomadic hunter-gatherers. This group of people will tend to be small, and they will subsist entirely on the resources readily available to them from the land and the hunting they can make close to their place of habitation. They did not have a stable place of living and tended to move from place to place in search of new readily, and easily acquirable, resources. They literally depended on what they could gather from plants, and the animals they could hunt from the wild. They did not farm, establish stable dwellings and did not domesticate animals.
