A nurse is planning care for a group of super-centenarians in an assisted living facility. The nurse considers which of the following?

A. It is theorized that super-centenarians survived as long as they have due to genetic mutations that made them less susceptible to common diseases. Research suggests that super-centenarians may have protective genetic factors that help them avoid age-related diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. B. Most super-centenarians are functionally independent or require minimal assistance with activities of daily living. Although some super-centenarians maintain functionality, the majority require some level of assistance due to physical or cognitive decline. C. The majority of super-centenarians have cognitive impairment. While some may develop cognitive impairment, many super-centenarians retain cognitive function well into advanced age, distinguishing them from typical aging populations. D. The number of super-centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a result of heart disease and stroke. The number of super-centenarians is actually increasing due to improved public health, medical advancements, and better living conditions.
