the answer in the answer key to the OCD is "offer to change medS"..but I think the question says he had a good response to the meds.the other options were I think to ask for parental supervision,monitor blod levels and begin cognitive therapy.
I think i would go for cognitive therapy.what do you think?

for sagars

Pl write NBME question in the subject line on top of the question which is from NBME forms because there are many people who want to assess themselves before exam and by reading your questions their result become biased.
