Helper 1 is defined as which?

• A. Paid service provider
• B. Secondary informal helper
• C. Legal guardian
• D. Primary informal helper

Answer: (D)

Helper 1 refers to the person who provides the most informal support to the client, typically a family member or friend who helps with daily tasks and coordination without pay. This makes them the primary informal helper—the main caregiver in the informal network. A paid service provider is a formal helper, not informal. A legal guardian handles decision-making rather than day-to-day caregiving. A secondary informal helper is someone who assists as well but isn’t the main caregiver. So Helper 1 is the primary informal helper.
