ANS: B
A nurse will identify a caregiver's lack of self-care as a potential example of caregiver role strain. Sacrificing their own health to care for the identified patient places caregivers at risk for becoming ill themselves. If caregivers jeopardize their own health, they may not be able to care for the actual patient. In all of the other options, the caregiver is handling caregiver stress appropriately.
