Question 1 of 5

During a routine office visit, a nurse is obtaining an older adult client's vital signs and notices the caregiver is very quiet and withdrawn. When asked, the caregiver acknowledges feeling exhausted from caring for the client 24 hours a day. What is the best information for the nurse to provide?

A. Suggest that social services be contacted to find a respite care facility for the client. B. Tell the caregiver to consider hiring a private nurse to provide some time away. C. Advise a case management evaluation of the client's home environment. D. Recommend that the client's family return to the area to help provide assistance.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Respite care is a service that provides temporary relief to primary caregivers, allowing them time to rest and take care of their own needs. It can be provided in the client's home, a healthcare facility, or an adult day care center. This service is especially beneficial for caregivers who are feeling exhausted, as it offers them a break while ensuring that their loved ones continue to receive care.
