Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

Various types of housing options exist for older adults. Assisted-living facilities generally provide housing, group meals, personal care and support services, and social activities in a social setting, and there may be some health care provided. Nursing homes provide skilled nursing care and/or long-term care, including meals, personal care, and medical care. An accessory apartment is a separate apartment constructed in part of an existing house, such as a basement or attic. Home modification allows older adults to stay in their own homes by making changes to the home.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

The dry, thin skin of elderly clients is prone to infection.
