Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Adult day care provides a safe and supportive environment during the day for adults who cannot or choose not to stay alone. This service is often needed by caregivers who work during regular hours or need respite.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Changes in family patterns, fears, emotional responses, and expectations of individual family members can be assessed in the family interview. Special needs of the primary caretaker (i.e., often the spouse, daughter, or daughter-in-law) must be assessed.
