Answer to Question 1

A
The most appropriate client outcome for the nurse to discuss during discharge teaching is attending 90 AA meetings in 90 days after discharge. AA is a major self-help organization for the treatment of alcoholism. It accepts alcoholism as an illness and promotes total abstinence as the only cure.

Feedback: When the caregiver feels as though no one else can provide care, the risk for role strain is markedly increased. Answers A, B, and D are normal responses to a family member of a client with moderate Alzheimer's disease.
