Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing behavioral therapy for a client who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. The client repeatedly checks that the doors are locked at night. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client when using thought stopping technique?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Snap a rubber band on your wrist when you think about checking the locks. This is an effective use of thought stopping technique as it creates a physical distraction and discomfort when the client has obsessive thoughts. It helps interrupt the pattern of behavior and redirects the client's focus away from the compulsion. Keeping a journal (
A) may increase anxiety and reinforce the behavior. Asking a family member to check the lock (
C) doesn't address the client's need to manage their own thoughts and behaviors. Focusing on abdominal breathing (
D) may be a relaxation technique but doesn't directly address the obsessive thoughts.
