Question 1 of 5

A nurse is creating a plan of care for a newly admitted client who has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Provide the client with a structured schedule of daily activities. For clients with OCD, having a structured schedule helps reduce anxiety and provides a sense of predictability. It helps them feel more in control and lessens the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. Providing a routine also assists in managing time effectively and promoting a sense of accomplishment.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. A detailed explanation might overwhelm the client with OCD rather than help them. Maintaining a stimulating environment could exacerbate anxiety for someone with OCD. Limiting time for rituals to 30 minutes each day is not as effective as providing a structured schedule to manage symptoms throughout the day.
