Ans: C
Feedback: Several models of disability have been used to address or explain the issues encountered by people with disabilities (Smeltzer, 2007a). These include the medical and rehabilitation models, the social model, the biopsychosocial model, and the interface model. These models do not define a medical framework in the care of the disabled, do not create a forum for improving rehabilitative care, and do not formulate care plans for use with the disabled.
