A nurse is assessing a client who has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

A. Irritability: While clients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) may experience frustration when routines are disrupted, irritability alone is nonspecific and not a defining characteristic of the disorder. B. Shows perfectionism: Perfectionism is a hallmark feature of OCPD. Clients often exhibit rigid adherence to rules, high standards, and meticulous attention to detail, which can impair flexibility, efficiency, and interpersonal relationships. C. Impulsivity: Impulsivity is more characteristic of disorders such as borderline personality disorder or ADHD. Clients with OCPD are typically controlled, deliberate, and resistant to spontaneous changes. D. Takes advantage of others: Exploitative behavior is associated with antisocial personality disorder, not OCPD. Individuals with OCPD tend to be conscientious, rule-bound, and focused on personal standards rather than manipulating others for personal gain.
