The nurse is working with a group of parents of a child or children with chronic conditions. The nurse concludes that a parent's caregiver burden could become overwhelming when the parent states which of the following?
1. "My mother moved in and helped ustake our quadruplets home."
2. "Our health insurance sent us arejection letter for my child's brandname medication but we must fill out forms to get the generic."
3. "I chose to quit my job to be homewith my child,and my husband helps in the evening when he can."
4. "I have to care for my child dayand night,which leaves little time for me."
Answer:4
Rationale:No respite time from caregiving responsibilities may lead to overwhelming caregiver burden. The family's pitching in to help indicates family support.Substituting generic for brand-name medications will not result in caregiver burden. The mother chose to care for the child and receives help from the husband.
