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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Snap a rubber band on your wrist when you think about checking the locks. This instruction is in line with the thought-stopping technique, which aims to interrupt obsessive thoughts. By associating the urge to check locks with a physical sensation like snapping a rubber band, the client can become more aware of their thought patterns and potentially break the cycle of compulsive behavior. It helps the client to redirect their focus away from the obsessive thought.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Asking a family member to check the locks does not address the underlying issue and may enable the client's behavior.
B: Keeping a journal may help track behavior but does not actively interrupt the obsessive thoughts.
D: Focusing on abdominal breathing can be a relaxation technique, but it does not specifically target the obsessive thoughts related to checking locks.
