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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
