Question 1 of 5
A 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 20 lb in the past 2 months indicates caregiver role strain. Significant weight loss can be a sign of stress, neglecting self-care, and being overwhelmed by caregiving responsibilities. This observation suggests that the partner may not be prioritizing their own well-being while caring for the client with Alzheimer's disease.
Choice A is incorrect because placing locks at the top of doors is a safety measure commonly taken to prevent the client with Alzheimer's disease from wandering outside unsupervised.
Choice B is incorrect as hiring a house cleaner can be a practical solution to manage household tasks and does not necessarily indicate caregiver role strain.
Choice D is incorrect because redirecting the client when frustrated is a positive caregiving technique to manage challenging behaviors.
