21. Social

A skilled nursing facilities are a source of transitional care between a hospital and a personal residence. The care at a skilled nursing facility is distinct from that of a nursing home. Specialized services such as pathologists, hearing specialists, occupational therpists, etc can be offered at a skilled nursing facility. So the skilled nursing facility is both a clinical and a social establishment.

22. Continuity theory

Continuity theory of aging is the belief that older adults will usually maintain the same relationships, behaviours, and activities as they did in their earlier years.

Activity theory claims that staying mentally and physically active preserves older adults happier.

The disengagement theory of ageing claims that it is natural and acceptable for older adults to withdraw from society and personal relationships as they age.

Labeling theory suggests that older people who feel young are denying their age because of the stigma attached to the label "old".

23. True

During the initial client interview, you should give the client the opportunity to fully explain the facts as well as their interest in resolving the dispute. During initial interview, the facility should provide an office or other private area for the interview. The setting should be comfortable, inviting and cheerfully decorated but not distracted. An inquiry form in a checklist format can greatly facilitate the interview. Even if the intake process is computerized, making computer entries during the interview should be avoided.

24. True
