Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Bright colors and contrasts will make furnishings more visible. A unique, easily seen design is better for labeling than a number or letter. Light should not be glaring, whether from windows or lamps.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Preventive and ancillary services support independent individuals in maintaining their self-care capacity. Choice B offers assistance to individuals capable of self-care if aided. Choice C provides assistance to individuals with limited self-care capacity and a therapeutic demand that requires occasional assistance. Choice D provides regular or continuous assistance to individuals with limitations in self-care and with therapeutic needs that require 24-hour supervision by a health care professional. The two elders are independent and capable of self-care; they require only occasional preventive and ancillary services.
