An adult diagnosed with schizophrenia lives with elderly parents. The patient was recently hospitalized with acute psychosis. One parent is very anxious, and the other is ill because of the stress. Which nursing diagnosis is most applicable to this scenario?

  • A. Ineffective family coping related to parental role conflict
  • B. Caregiver role strain related to the stress of chronic illness
  • C. Impaired parenting related to patients repeated hospitalizations
  • D. Interrupted family processes related to relapse of acute psychosis
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Caregiver role strain refers to a caregivers felt or exhibited difficulty in performing a family caregiver role.
