Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Although improving range of motion may allow the older adult to dance and walk up and down stairs and may minimize the use of adaptive devices, the most direct benefit of those listed is to resolve one of the most functional problems of the elderly: increased risk of accidents.
