A Incorrect. Defining their legacy is a secondary factor and less likely to contribute to a smooth transition into retirement.
B Incorrect. Location of retirement is less likely to contribute to a smooth transi-tion into retirement.
C Incorrect. Location of health care services is less likely to contribute to smooth transition into retirement.
D Correct. The most significant factors contributing to a smooth transition into re-tirement are health, income, and social involvement, so the nurse helps the par-ticipants focus on financial issues to begin retirement planning, thereby estab-lishing the future retiree's ability to maintain health, income, and social in-volvement. By choosing a year for retirement, individuals can estimate their re-tirement income and consult specialists in retirement planning, such as the em-ployee's human resources department, to determine retirement benefits.
