A priority family-centered nursing diagnosis related to a spouse who is providing care is Caregiver Role Strain. The nurse determines family-specific interventions that can assist the spouse or family in care for themselves while caring for the client. Altered Health Maintenance is a client diagnosis. Fatigue and Anticipatory Grief are also potential diagnosis but not a priority as Caregiver Role Strain.
