A nurse is visiting with a caregiver for a client who has severe Alzheimer's disease. The caregiver says, "I need to go out of town for several days." Which of the following resources should the nurse recommend?

Choice A reason: Partial hospitalization is designed for clients with acute psychiatric needs who require structured treatment during the day but can return home at night. It is not appropriate for clients with severe dementia needing full-time supervision. Choice B reason: A geropsychiatric unit is appropriate for clients with severe behavioral disturbances or psychiatric crises. It is not a temporary care solution for stable clients whose caregiver needs a break. Choice C reason: Respite care provides temporary relief for caregivers by offering short-term professional care for the client. It is ideal when the caregiver must be away and ensures the client remains safe and supported. Choice D reason: Adult day care offers daytime supervision and activities but does not provide overnight care. It is not suitable when the caregiver will be out of town for several days.
