A school nurse is performing scoliosis screenings. The nurse should recognize which of the following clinical manifestations as an indication of scoliosis?

Choice A reason:

Goal – oriented is the correct answer. Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of preoccupation with orderliness, perfectionism, and control. Individuals with OCPD tend to be highly organized, detail-oriented, and focused on achieving their goals. They often set strict standards for themselves and others and are driven by a strong need for perfection in all aspects of their lives.

Choice B reason

Provocative behaviour is not a characteristic commonly associated with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). In fact, individuals with OCPD tend to be more reserved, cautious, and serious in their interactions with others.

Choice C reason:

Lack of empathy While individuals with OCPD may struggle with interpersonal relationships due to their rigid standards and expectations, they typically do not lack empathy. They might find it challenging to understand and relate to emotions or perspectives that do not align with their own, but this is different from a complete lack of empathy, which is more commonly seen in certain other personality disorders.

Choice D reason.

Lability refers to emotional instability or rapid and extreme shifts in emotions. This is not a typical feature of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Individuals with OCPD tend to be emotionally restrained and might have difficulty expressing emotions, rather than experiencing emotional lability.

A. Muscle stiffness is not a common or serious adverse effect of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug that can reduce pain and stiffness caused by arthritis.

B. Stomach pain or bloody stools are signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, which is a serious and potentially fatal adverse effect of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can cause ulceration, perforation, and hemorrhage of the stomach or intestines . The nurse should ask the client about any gastrointestinal symptoms and advise them to avoid alcohol, smoking, and other NSAIDs while taking ibuprofen.

C. Dry cough is not a common or serious adverse effect of ibuprofen. Dry cough is more likely to be caused by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which are used to treat hypertension and heart failure.

D. Increase in urine output is not a common or serious adverse effect of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen can cause renal impairment, which can lead to decreased urine output, not increased urine output. The nurse should monitor the client's renal function tests and fluid balance while taking ibuprofen.
