Good Morning Students!


Please watch the short video clip from As Good as it Gets (1997).  In this clip we see a glimpse into the routines that surround a patient living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).  According to our text book readings, there are several ways OCD manifests itself, some more bothersome than others.

Take a minute and create a scenario of a fictitious patient living with OCD.  What symptoms does your patient exhibit?  How is your patient's life altered by these obsessions or compulsions?  Finally, as your patient's nurse, how are you able to assist them to increase their level of functioning?
