Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Nursing home settings are becoming increasingly diverse, but a common feature of older adults who are admitted to nursing homes is a decrease in function and ADLs. Acute health problems that require medical treatment necessitate hospital admission, and a change in social support would not necessarily prompt a move from assisted living.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Community-dwelling older adults who may lack family involvement in their care often require independent community-based professional geriatric care management. Individuals who are experiencing acute medical conditions and who are in institutional or acute care settings are not frequent recipients of care management.
