Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Activities such as having life-review discussions, recording oral histories, and compiling a scrapbook of life events not only help older adults feel a sense of worth about the lives they have lived but also provide a sense of history and legacy for younger generations. This is more likely to foster residents' self-concepts than exercise, education, or pet therapy.
