needs. The remaining options are focused on specifics of the determined plan of care.

c. This type of facility will provide the specialized care that is needed.
d. Being out in the community will help provide hope and purpose for living.


ANS: D

Hospitalization may be necessary for acute care, but, when patients are stabilized, they move into
