Answer to Question 1

D
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) would be the most likely diagnosis for this individual. Individuals with OCPD have a pervasive preoccupation with order, cleanliness, control, and perfectionism. In many cases, individuals suffering from OCPD appear highly inflexible. They become so focused on rules, detail, and procedures that they lose focus on the reasons for the procedures and instead focus solely on the pattern.

Answer to Question 2

C
Institutionalizing an individual by assuming activities of daily living that they are capable of performing would be considered a denial of their ability to be independent. The remaining options do not appear to violate any patient right.
