Question 1 of 5
The primary caregiver of a client with newly diagnosed Alzheimer's disease states 'I don't know how I will handle caring for my spouse with this disease'. What is the nurse's best first response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'You sound overwhelmed, can you tell me more?'. This response demonstrates active listening and empathy, acknowledging the caregiver's feelings and inviting them to share their concerns further. By prompting the caregiver to elaborate, the nurse can gain a better understanding of their specific challenges, fears, and needs, which is essential for providing appropriate support and guidance.
Choice B is incorrect as it dismisses the caregiver's current feelings and offers a generic statement that may seem dismissive.
Choice C focuses on the future challenges without addressing the caregiver's current emotional state.
Choice D is incorrect as it implies that the healthcare team will handle everything, which may not address the caregiver's emotional needs.
