B) Role-play responses to life events that may occur in their near future.
C) Assess group members' strategies used to deal with life events.
D) Discuss coping strategies helpful in adjusting to challenges of aging.
Ans: D
Healthy aging classes are based on the belief that older adults who are beginning to recognize age-related physical and psychosocial changes or who are already dealing with such changes can benefit from sharing their experiences with their peers. Such classes are not primarily a venue for assessment or for role-play. Teaching is best performed by having the members share.
