Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A planned recreation program is a requirement in LTC facilities. The program's complexity is often based on the level of functioning of the facility's residents. In some facilities, particularly those sponsored by a religious organization, a chaplain and formal chapel may be available for regular services, counseling, and individual prayer. In many cases, a swimming pool, whirlpool, or sauna is available Some facilities have a full healthcare center on site, with a complete medical office and pharmacy, staffed with physicians, advance practice nurses, podiatrists, dentists, mental health professionals, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals.
