Question 2
An elderly client who lives with her daughter and son-in-law and their three children reveals that her daughter sometimes slaps her when she does not move fast enough or spills things.
The daughter is a midlevel business executive who is under considerable stress at work. The chil-dren have many school activities to which they must be transported. The husband is often out of town on business trips. The daughter states, I have so much to do that I become frustrated when my mother can't move fast enough or causes me extra work. The nurse caring for the mother could appropriately suggest:
1. Moving the mother to an adult ambulatory care facility
2. Employing an aide to provide care and stimulation for the mother
3. Enrolling in a therapeutic group that addresses stress management
4. Reading the elder law of the state to learn the penalties for elder abuse
