Answer to Question 1

obsessive-compulsive personality
Persons with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder focus their anxiety on uncertainty of future events. They are extremely orderly and so preoccupied with details that they accomplish very little.

Answer to Question 2

C, E
The patient has a constitutional right to freedom of speech. This includes the right to speak by telephone to outside parties such as a mental health advocate or lawyer. Immediately conveying the request for the patient would be an acceptable action when a unit does not have a phone that can be used by patients. A cell phone would be another acceptable alternative. A note may violate the patient's privacy. The mail poses a lengthy delay. Documenting the request without acting on it is insufficient.
