ATI RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam 2023
A charge nurse is teaching a group of newly licensed nurses about the health risks for family caregivers of clients who are chronically ill. Which of the following should the nurse include as placing a family caregiver at risk?
Explanation & Rationale
A. "Previous caregiver experience." Experience may reduce stress by helping the caregiver develop coping strategies. B. "25 to 50 years of age." Age alone is not a significant risk factor for caregiver burden. C. "Lives in a different dwelling than the client." Caregivers living separately may experience less strain than those providing full-time, in-home care. D. "Providing care for greater than 1 year." Long-term caregiving is associated with burnout, stress, and physical health issues, increasing the caregiver's risk of anxiety, depression, and chronic illness.
