This module explores how seniors and their families address the relevant issues of Long-Term Care.
You will notice that the video lectures may refer to statistics to reinforce a teaching point. Some of these statistics are from research conducted in the past years. In a number of instances, the research study has not been redone if the trend studied has evidenced no material change. In other circumstances, the statistics may have changed slightly, and we have then included these in the document entitled UPDATED STATS AND FACTS -- so make sure you check these out if they listed in the Resource Material section.| KEY TAKEAWAYS | ISSUES FOR CLIENTS | CONVERSATIONS WITH CLIENTS |

QUIZ TIPS
- Although we wanted to create reasonably challenging questions, we did not intend to create 'trick' questions. If it feels like a trick question to you -- please re-read the question carefully and ask yourself what fact or concept is being questioned.
- This is NOT a timed quiz. Take all the time you need to consider the question and make your best selection.
- Be attentive to questions asking which statement is NOT correct, or if all statements are correct EXCEPT.
- If you have read the question carefully, your first impression of the correct answer is usually the right choice to make.
Smile and Relax! We have provided you with every opportunity to do well.
