The nurse was visiting the home of a family who care for an 18-year-old son with severe and per-sistent schizophrenia. The parents remarked, We never go anywhere alone and are thinking about taking a weekend trip.
 
  What do you think? Which response would be appropriate?
  1. It has to be tough, but you surely do a good job with your son.
  2. Maybe you should leave for just a few hours to see your son's reaction.
  3. It may be difficult to find someone willing to stay in your home.
  4. You do need to have some time away together.

Question 2

To establish programs to support caregivers of clients with severe and persistent mental illness, the community mental health nurse should focus primarily on:
 
  1. Staff of halfway houses
  2. Foster care families
  3. Clients' families of origin
  4. Residential managers of low-rent apartments

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
The nurse can legitimately support the parents' decision to have some time for themselves. Op-tion 1 reflects on their burden rather than the question. Option 2 places the son's needs before the parents' needs. Option 3 is incorrect because providing care was not mentioned as a problem in the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Most severely and persistently mentally ill clients live with their families. The other options list living arrangements for small parts of this group but not for the majority.
