Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Home care of a child can place a heavy burden on a family as the stress of being responsible for an ill child's daily health status can have a negative impact on a parent's self-esteem. The statement that the mother has adjusted to the situation indicates readiness for enhanced coping. The mother is not demonstrating hopelessness,
health-seeking behaviors, or compromised coping.
