D
Feedback:
Optimal function for age is the main goal of older adulthood. The nurse should inform the client that older adulthood does not allow the human body to function as well as it did at previous levels. Retaining control, reviewing past decisions, and taking part in social activities are all psychosocial considerations and not healthcare goals in an extended care facility.
