Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Caregiver strain occurs when the main caregiver becomes overwhelmed and feels underhelped regarding the tasks concerned with the care of the family member. In this situation, mounting bitterness and withdrawal from other family members may cause caregivers to push away any potential helpers.
