Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Obsessive-compulsive disorder impacts the family system, especially with impaired role function. How frequently the client cleans the house and whether vomiting occurs during cleaning may be important to assess, but they are not the most important. Forgetfulness is not a component of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The son is experiencing anxiety about the client's obsessive-compulsive behavior, which indicates a risk for caregiver role strain. There is not enough information to determine whether or not the client or son is experiencing ineffective coping, anxiety, or deficient knowledge.
