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.

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.
