Question 3

Designing homes and buildings that are accessible to people of all ages and multiple levels of physical ability is:&#10;A) Not cost-effective in the long term&#10;B) Mandated by federal law&#10;C) Employing principles of universal design&#10;D) Architectural standard design

Accepted Answer

Designing homes and buildings that are accessible to people of all ages and multiple levels of physical ability is achieved through the principles of universal design. It is not only mandated by federal law but it also benefits everyone, regardless of their physical ability. It helps to create a more inclusive and equitable environment. While there may be some additional costs in the short term, it is ultimately cost-effective in the long term as it reduces the need for expensive retrofits or renovations in the future. It is not just an architectural standard design but a mindset that seeks to make spaces more welcoming and accessible for everyone.

Accepted Answer

Client-centered care is characterized by a collaborative relationship between the healthcare team and the client, in which the client's needs, preferences, and values are respected and incorporated into the plan of care. The client is seen as an active participant in their own care, and consumer advocacy groups may also be involved in determining the plan of care. The focus is on the whole person and their overall well-being, rather than just the disease process or specific treatments. A physician or treating therapist may still play a role in the interdisciplinary team, but they are not necessarily the leader.
