Cevap
The appropriate actions include providing information for support groups, referring the family to a home health agency for daytime assistance, and collaborating with the spouse to identify options for weekend respite care.
Providing contact information for support groups offers emotional and educational support for both the client and caregiver. Referring the family to a home health agency directly addresses the practical gap in care while the spouse is working. Collaborating to identify other friends or family members helps build a broader support network, which reduces the risk of caregiver burnout by planning for necessary respite care.
