The nurse is making a home visit to a male client who is in the moderate stage of Alzheimer’s diseases. The client’s wife is exhausted and tells the nurse that the family plans to take turns caring for the client in their home, each keeping him for two weeks at a time. How should the nurse respond? a. Advise the client’s spouse to consider inpatient hospice care as an alternative b. Suggest that each rotation last one week, rather than two, to prevent caregiver fatigue c. Use active listening to allow the client and spouse to express their feelings about the plan d. Suggest enrolling the client in adult daycare instead of rotating among family.
