Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Using group processes, the group members became supportive of each other when undertaking changes. The group developed a buddy system where members supported each other outside the group. Through using the visual methods, the individuals were able to distance themselves from the problem and decrease the feeling of being overwhelmed. They were able to be more objective and develop an action plan. Medication, daily visits, and having trash companies visit would not be helpful for this client and may make the problem worse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
All antidepressants have a black box warning for suicidality in children, adolescents, and young adults. This is the highest priority that must be assessed frequently. These medications often take several weeks or months to relieve compulsions and may take even longer to decrease obsessions. One of the older antidepressants, clomipramine, is commonly used in the treatment of OCD.
