Simulated
A client engages in repeated checks of door and window locks and behavior that prevents the client from arriving on time and interfering with the ability to function effectively. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Planning a list of daily activities helps establish a structured routine, reducing time spent on compulsive checking and promoting effective functioning. Determining lock types is irrelevant. Discussing time-checking does not address lock-checking. Asking 'why' may increase frustration, as compulsive behaviors are anxiety-driven.
