Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale: Retirement villages provide social support, but do not provide assistance with medication and ADLs. Long-term care facilities provide all care when elderly persons are no longer able to care for themselves; they are not considered assistance living. Other options include assisted living centers.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Erikson's task of this developmental stage is integrity versus despair. People who develop integrity accept their life with a sense of wholeness and satisfaction with their past accomplishments.
Rationale 2: Making connections with the younger generation is part of the task of the middle adult age group.
Rationale 3: People who despair often believe they made poor choices during life and wish they could live life over.
Rationale 4: Physical health is not part of psychosocial development.
