Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A A rehabilitation centre is not required, as Mr. Jones is ambulatory.
B Assisted-living facilities are community-based residential facilities where adults live in their own apartments and are provided with a range of support services such as meals, social and recreational programs, laundry, and a variety of others.
C A community health clinic offers the first point of contact, offering a range of primary services emphasizing prevention, health promotion, health education, community development, and partnerships to develop a healthy local community.
D A home care agency provides health services to individuals and families in their homes. Home care was created to provide individualized care for people following hospital discharge but has increasingly included a range of clients in a range of ages from very young to very old; those with mental, physical, or developmental challenges; and those requiring recovery to end-stage care.
