Frist I want to point out that the smooth muscle pertains to organs and skeletal muscle pertains to the bones.

The difference between the function of these two types is that: (think about it for a second, what do organs do?) Organs allow for things to pass through or be processed or created when they are contracting. For example: your bladder contracts to release urine.

(Think about bones and why we need muscle attached to them, If we only had bones and nothing attached, we wouldn't be able to move. We would just be a sac of bone and organs.) Skeletal muscle contractions allow us to move. For example: when you move your arm the muscle contracts allowing that bone to move in the position you are moving it.

Which statement by the nurse would be most appropriate to the family member who is the primary caregiver to a client with dement

Talja [164]

Answer:

"Yes, it is important for you to spend some time relaxing and doing what you like to do. This will help you to be better prepared to manage the demands of the caregiver role."

Explanation:

When people are taking care of patients with chronic diseases, they experience something that is called "the caregiver burnout" which consists in a state where the caregiver is physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. Usually all their daily routines revolved around the patient and it usually happens when they are the only ones taking care of the patient and don't get help from other members of the family.

It is important to not blame other people but rather, the caregiver should be able to focus their mind in other things that don't revolve around the patient and to take care of themselves mentally and physically by relaxing and doing things they enjoy doing.

Therefore, the most appropriate statement from the nurse would be <u>"Yes, it is important for you to spend some time relaxing and doing what you like to do. This will help you to be better prepared to manage the demands of the caregiver role."</u> since it actually tells the person to find some time to do things he/she enjoys doing and to find time to relax.
