Question 1 of 5
A nurse suggests respite care for the partner of a client who has mild cognitive impairment. The client's partner asks the nurse how that would help. The nurse should explain that respite care would do which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Allow her to take time off from attending to her partner. Respite care provides temporary relief to caregivers by allowing them to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities. This break can help reduce caregiver stress and prevent burnout, ultimately benefiting both the caregiver and the client.
Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect:
A: Sending a clinician to assess safety is important but not the primary purpose of respite care.
B: Providing volunteers to run errands is a form of support but does not address the need for a break from caregiving.
C: Arranging transfer to an assisted living facility may be necessary in the future but does not address the immediate need for respite.
E, F, G: These choices are not provided, but they would likely not be correct as they do not address the primary purpose of respite care in this scenario.
