Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Backup care is a service that provides temporary care for dependents (such as children or elderly relatives) when the primary caregiver is unable to provide care. This would be the best choice for Penny in this situation as it would allow her to go to work without worrying about her mother-in-law's care and avoid losing a day of pay. Vocational support typically refers to services that help individuals find and maintain employment, and is not relevant to this situation. Dependent monitoring and day care also do not address the specific need of a temporary caregiver in the event of an emergency.
