Answer to Question 1

D
A home health care agency provides health services to individuals and families in their homes. Home care was created to provide individualized care for people following hospital discharge, but has increasingly included a range of clients in a range of ages from very young to very old; those with mental, physical, or developmental challenges, and those requiring recovery, to end-stage care.
Assisted-living facilities are community-based residential facilities where adults live in their own apartments and are provided with a range of support services such as meals, social and recrea-tional programs, laundry, and a variety of services.
Adult day care centres provide continuous health care services to clients who do not require hos-pitalization. They provide continuity between the care delivered at home and care delivered in the centre.
An extended care facility provides long-term care accommodations and 24-hour intermediate and custodial care (e.g., nursing, rehabilitation services, etc.) for residents of any age with chronic or debilitating illnesses or disabilities.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Gerontic nursing is a seldom-used term that reflects the art and practice of nurturing, caring for, and comforting older patients, rather than merely treating disease.
B Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the physiological and psychological aspects of aging and with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting older adults.
C Gerontology is the study of all aspects of aging.
D Anthropology is not a term used for the study of aging.
