Answer to Question 1

D
Perceived social support is social support that is perceived by the recipient of the support. The elderly patient perceives a lack of social support even though the youngest daughter provides help weekly. Actual social support is identified as social support that is given by others regardless of the recipient's perception of the support.

Answer to Question 2

F
