Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Table and room arrangements should be made in a way that promotes social relationships. Older adults should be allowed to choose between at least two alternatives when dressing. Residents in wheelchairs should be positioned to promote social interaction.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Resident meetings allow older adults to address personal preferences and to make choices. Posting the meals and later allowing choices is giving the older residents a limited chance to make a choice. Safety should be an ongoing concern.
