Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a mental health facility is planning care for a client who has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is newly admitted to the unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take regarding the client's compulsive behaviors?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Plan the client's schedule to allow time for rituals. This is the most appropriate action as it acknowledges the client's compulsive behaviors and allows for a structured approach in managing them without causing distress. Isolating the client (option
A) can worsen their condition. Setting strict limits (option
B) may lead to increased anxiety and resistance. Confronting the client (option
C) can be counterproductive as it may escalate their behaviors. Planning the client's schedule to accommodate rituals (option
D) supports the client's needs while maintaining a therapeutic environment.
