Ans: C
Although family coping, activity intolerance, and powerlessness may be issues, the priority nursing diagnosis is Caregiver Role Strain related to social isolation, as evidenced by the wife's statement of not being out of the house for 2 weeks. The nurse should assist the client's wife in obtaining respite care if it is available.
