A 56-year-old woman provides care to her 91-year-old widowed father. She says she is frequently fatigued and that she no longer socializes with her friends. I'm so busy taking care of my dad.

  1) Caregiver Role Strain.
  2) Impaired Home Maintenance.
  3) Interrupted Family Processes.
  4) Risk for Caregiver Role Strain.

Question 2

  2) Client and family educator
