A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about end-of-life care. The nurse should include that which of the following services provides support for a client's caregiver?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Respite care. Respite care provides temporary relief to caregivers by offering professional support to care for the patient, allowing the caregiver to take a break. This service helps prevent caregiver burnout and ensures the patient receives continuous care. Postmortem care (A) is provided after the patient has passed away. Home care (B) focuses on providing care to the patient at home, not necessarily supporting the caregiver. Restorative care (D) aims to improve the patient's functional abilities rather than directly assisting the caregiver.
