Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Overall financial planning is important to provide a stable source of income for retirement if in-dividuals want to fulfill their retirement expectations. Company-sponsored benefits must be suf-ficient in retirement to avoid large, unplanned expenses. Health care expenses in retirement are more likely to be significant; therefore retirement health care must be adequate to avoid huge, unexpected expenses. If government-sponsored benefits are inadequate for retirement, then the individual must plan to fill the gaps with preretirement planning.
The ability to maintain a residence is not essential to fulfill retirement expectations. Safety and security of the personal residence is also not essential to fulfill retirement expectations.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Throw rugs easily slip, and older adults can trip on them, resulting in injury.
B Correct. The soft lighting avoids glare, and the carpet provides better traction than a glossy floor. Lamps should be added to supply more light when desired.
C Incorrect. The client's feet should not be able to glide easily across the floor, and if the surface becomes wet, a waxed floor can be very slippery.
D Incorrect. The client may stumble over children and toys.
