B. The 3-year-old child
C. The parents of the woman's ex-husband
D. The mother of the 34-year-old woman Correct Answers A.
Rationale: Caregivers who are 30 to 50 years old and have to
care for their own immediate family and parents are considered
members of the sandwich generation. In this scenario, the 34-
year-old single woman belongs to the sandwich generation. The
3-year-old son is too young to take care of anyone and is not
part of the sandwich generation. The parents of the woman do
not belong to the sandwich generation. The ex-husband is not a
caregiver in this scenario, and thus not a part of the sandwich
generation.

daily blood sugars. The patient is having difficulty operating the
equipment; therefore the patient's behavior is not irresponsible.
There is no evidence to suggest that the patient's diabetes is not
controlled. The patient's behavior does not indicate the state of
his disease or the treatment outcome.

determining what the patient learned or understood from the last
educational session. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in his
or her innate ability to achieve goals.
