Question 1 of 5

A client with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) repeatedly checks to see if the door is locked and asks for reassurance that it is locked. What is the most appropriate intervention by the RN to address this behavior?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Set a specific limit on the number of times the client can check the door. This intervention helps establish boundaries and structure for the client, which can assist in reducing compulsive behaviors. By setting a specific limit, the client is encouraged to gradually decrease the checking behavior and learn to cope with the anxiety associated with uncertainty. This approach promotes independence and empowerment for the client.


Choice B is incorrect because finding an alternative activity does not directly address the obsessive checking behavior.
Choice C is incorrect as providing consistent reassurance reinforces the compulsive behavior.
Choice D is incorrect because ignoring the behavior does not actively address or help decrease the compulsive checking.
