Ineffective coping is inaccurate because more than one individual's coping is affected. Option B:
Impaired parenting deals with only a part of the problem. Option C: Caregiver role strain refers to
the caregiver's difficulty in performing family caregiver roles.

The operational definition of anxiety suggests that an expectation or need is unmet, causing anxiety
and prompting relief behavior. Options A and B: The scenario does not support a rationale
associated with anger or fear. Option D: The responses associated with anxiety are related to
