Question 1 of 5
A home health nurse is making a home visit to a client who has Alzheimer's disease and the client's partner. Which of the following observations indicates to the nurse that the partner is experiencing caregiver role strain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the partner losing 25 lb in the past 3 months indicates caregiver role strain. Weight loss can be a sign of stress and neglecting one's own needs while caring for someone with Alzheimer's. This choice reflects the physical toll caregiving can take.
A: Hiring a house cleaner (choice
A) shows that the partner is seeking help and support, which is a positive coping strategy and does not necessarily indicate caregiver role strain.
B: Placing locks at the top of the doors (choice
B) demonstrates safety measures for the client and does not directly indicate caregiver role strain.
D: Redirecting the client when frustrated (choice
D) shows appropriate management of challenging behaviors and does not directly indicate caregiver role strain.
In summary, choice C is the best indicator of caregiver role strain as it reflects the physical impact of the caregiving responsibilities on the partner's well-being.
