Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse is responsible for both written documentation of the implementation process as well as verbal communication with other care providers.

Answer to Question 2

3. The client watches television while eating meals and engages in conversation with roommate.

Rationale:
The client who watches television while eating meals and engages in conversation with a roommate is exhibiting behavior that suggests treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder is effective. This behavior is evidence of reduced anxiety and less of a need to engage in ritualistic behavior. The other observations would indicate the need for additional treatment.
