Question 2

When caring for a new client with obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is most important for the nurse to:
 
  1. Teach ritual interruption skills.
   2. Interrupt the ritual.
   3. Not interrupt the ritual.
   4. Teach about antianxiety foods.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1

Answer to Question 2

3. Not interrupt the ritual.

Rationale:
Do not interrupt the ritual because the client may have to start from the beginning. For a new client, teaching ritual interruption skills and teaching about antianxiety foods would not be the priority.
