A client with OCD tells the nurse, Thinking these thoughts and doing all my rituals is beyond being silly. I know others laugh behind my back. I sometimes think I can control things, but I al-ways find I can't.
I don't know if I can continue to live this waybeing a burden on my family and being of no use to myself. The reply that shows the best understanding of the client's priority risk is:
1. How are you sleeping?
2. Are your rituals interfering with eating?
3. Have you been thinking about suicide?
4. What makes you think others are laughing behind your back?
Question 2

1. Tricyclic antidepressants
2. Monamine oxidase inhibitors
3. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
4. Benzodiazepines
