Read the case situation given below and answer the questions that follows:

Maria has just passed her School and is currently searching for a college program in nursing. She has been shortlisted at a prestigious Nursing and medical university in another city, not her hometown. Maria has 4 younger brothers and sisters for whom she is responsible for teaching them and other tasks at home, as her mother does not keep well and have health issues. Her mother has not stopped her from going but doesn't look happy either. Only one week is left for her to sign acceptance and send approval to college to join for the program. Maria has not been able to talk about the whole issue with her family yet.

Previously Maria had enjoyed with her extended family who live in the same city, visiting them and get together but now she is avoiding all social visits. Even she has given up her favorite hobby of gardening and landscaping, which she used to indulge in at weekends for her home garden. She has also enjoyed meal planning and learning cuisines in her free time, which has been a passion for her. She continuously complains of headaches and stress.

Q1) What is the core problem in the case?

Q2) Why do you think Maria is feeling stressed all the time and have headaches? Analyze her current situation from all possible angles.

Q3) List the associated problems of Maria in the given case and provide at least 2 possible solutions to her problem. Also, justify the reason for choosing these solutions.
