Objective:
Distinguish between the terms "caregiving" and "caregiver," and define the concept of caregiver stress.

23. Ms. F is a woman, 31 years of age, who has been married for seven years. She and her husband have two young daughters, 6 and 4 years of age. One year ago, Ms. F's father was diagnosed with a chronic heart condition. Because he is a widower, the F family decided it was best that he move in with them. Ms. F gave up her job so she could watch over her father. In addition to the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for her children, Ms. F now picks up medication, drives her father to and from physicians and service providers, shops for special foods for her father's strict diet, and helps him dress. What type of caregiver is Ms. F?
