5 "Do your family members suffer from any addictions?"
Questions about the problem-solving skills of the family help the nurse to
determine the best coping strategies. The nurse needs to ask about any past
financial problems and how the family dealt with them. This information helps
the nurse to assess the family's coping abilities. Similarly, asking about the
family's addiction history may help the nurse learn how the family handles
crises. Asking about festival celebrations and the relative importance of family
members speaks to the family's cultural background and beliefs, but does not
help the nurse determine the family's ability to cope with crises.

will reduce caregiver role strain.
A schedule to provide groceries and meals to the caregiver and the patient can
reduce the caregiver's burden.

caregiver some time to rest.
Community resources can be of help in providing transportation or respite
care and should be identified. The primary caregiver should not function
continuously and family members should alternate schedules to help the
primary caregiver.
