In a retirement planning program, the community health nurse wants to help participants avoid disappointment in retirement
The nurse's program emphasizes which of the following elements that must be adequate to meet postretirement expectations? (Select all that apply.) a. Financial planning
b. Company-sponsored benefits
c. Company-sponsored health care
d. Government-sponsored benefits
e. Ability to maintain a personal residence
f. Safety and security of a personal residence
A, B, C, D
Overall financial planning is important to provide a stable source of income for retirement if in-dividuals want to fulfill their retirement expectations. Company-sponsored benefits must be suf-ficient in retirement to avoid large, unplanned expenses. Health care expenses in retirement are more likely to be significant; therefore retirement health care must be adequate to avoid huge, unexpected expenses. If government-sponsored benefits are inadequate for retirement, then the individual must plan to fill the gaps with preretirement planning.
The ability to maintain a residence is not essential to fulfill retirement expectations. Safety and security of the personal residence is also not essential to fulfill retirement expectations.
