from nbme form2, I don't have answer
Five months after beginning fluoxetine to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, a 19-year-old man states that he discontinued his medication 2 months ago because he had begun to worry about taking his medication every day. His initial response to the medication was good. His symptoms have now returned, and his morning ritual of cleaning and grooming consumes so much time that his job is in jeopardy. In addition to education about the nature of his disorder and its treatment, which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
A ) Tell the patient to schedule a return visit as needed
B ) Offer to change the medication
C ) Request that the patient's parents supervise administration of medication
D ) Monitor the patient's compliance by weekly blood tests
E ) Begin a trial of cognitive-behavior therapy
