The nurse is caring for a patient undergoing surgery with the nursing diagnosis of deficient knowledge related to lack of previous surgical experience. Which nursing intervention is appropriate? (Select all that apply.)

Choice A reason: While individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder may seek advice, it is not typically to an excessive amount, and this does not capture the essence of the disorder.

Choice B reason: Using physical appearance to gain attention is not a characteristic of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder; it is more associated with histrionic personality disorder.

Choice C reason: Being preoccupied with order and following rigid rules is a core feature of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, reflecting a need for control and perfectionism.

Choice D reason: Believing one's achievements are superior to others is indicative of narcissistic personality disorder, not obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Choice A reason: Clients with OCD often engage in compulsive behaviors, such as cleaning, to manage their anxiety levels. Recognizing this can help the nurse provide appropriate support and interventions.

Choice B reason: While the tasks may seem useful, the compulsive nature of the behavior is driven by anxiety rather than a focus on productivity.

Choice C reason: The behavior is not about limiting social interaction; it is a manifestation of the client's OCD.

Choice D reason: The behavior is not intended to manipulate or control others but is a symptom of the client's OCD.
