Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and is constantly picking up after others in the day room. The nurse should recognize that the client uses this behavior to do which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Decrease anxiety to a tolerable level. In this scenario, the client with OCD is engaging in the compulsive behavior of constantly picking up after others as a way to alleviate their anxiety. People with OCD often engage in repetitive behaviors to reduce distress caused by obsessions. This behavior provides temporary relief from anxiety, making it tolerable for the individual.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the primary motivation behind the client's behavior is not to focus attention on meaningful tasks, manipulate or control others, or limit interaction time, but rather to manage anxiety.
