Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The father will be cared for at the adult daycare, and it is a nice alternative for the daughter. She will be able to work and know that her father is safe during the day. The daughter thinking the father will be okay in a few days is not realistic, nor can she deadbolt the door and lock him in the house.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse will look for a family who is willing to provide care plus support each other in this need. Having a situation where just siblings or a mother or an outside agency give care puts an undue burden on the caregiver and brings disharmony to the family.
