Question

alternative to institutionalization is the label for services and settings:
○ for people with basic adl impairments.
○ designed for any older adult.
○ designed to keep people with age - related disabilities from entering nursing homes.
○ for older people without medicare.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option: Basic ADL impairments are not the sole focus of alternatives to institutionalization.
• The second option: Alternatives to institutionalization are not for "any" older adult, as they target those at risk of institutionalization.
• The third option: Alternatives to institutionalization (like home - and - community - based services) aim to support people with age - related disabilities to live in the community instead of nursing homes.
• The fourth option: Medicare status is not the defining factor for these services.

Answer:

C. designed to keep people with age - related disabilities from entering nursing homes. (Here we assume the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A being "for people with basic ADL impairments", B being "designed for any older adult", C being "designed to keep people with age - related disabilities from entering nursing homes", D being "for older people without Medicare")
