The nurse meets with the mother of a child diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The mother states, “I feel so guilty that he has this disease, like I did something wrong. I feel like I need to be with him constantly in order for him to get better. But still sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose control and hurt him.” The nurse should suggest which of the following to the mother?

1. Arranging for respite care to watch her child and give herself a regular break.

2. Taking a job to allow herself to feel some success because her child won't ever improve.

3. Arranging to have coffee with friends daily as a way to begin a support group.

4. Considering foster care if she feels that she can't handle her child's problems.
