The nurse caring for a 40-year-old building contractor with rheumatoid arthritis realizes from what
  he says that his wife and 13-year-old son have taken on many new roles since he became severely
  debilitated.
 
  They have become caregivers, helping him dress, lifting him into his truck so he can go
  to building sites, and picking him up when he falls. His wife has taken over ordering building
  supplies and assigning work teams in addition to running her own home cleaning business. When the
  nurse asks the wife How are you holding up these days? her response is Sometimes I wonder how
  long we are going to be able to provide the care he needs. He seems to be weaker every month. I feel
  like I am going to collapse under the strain, but I know I have to keep going. It is hard on our son,
  too, to see his dad so helpless.. The nursing diagnosis the nurse should consider completing is
  a. ineffective denial.
  b. defensive coping.
  c. spiritual distress.
  d. caregiver role strain.
