Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, E
Cue cards are used to help the client restructure thought patterns. They contain statements that are positively oriented and pertain to the client's specific obsessions and compulsions, such as identifying the thoughts as OCD rather than the person, trusting one's self, and doing it right the first time. The statements Keep on checking and Safety is the key would reinforce the client's anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder need frequent reassurance that the side effects are a common response to the medication and that they are not becoming ill. Ignoring the client's concerns will only increase the client's anxiety.
