    The practical nurse (PN) is assisting the recreational director of a long-term care facility plan outdoor activities for the wheelchair-bound older residents who are mentally alert. Which activity meets the physical and social needs of these residents?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. This activity addresses both physical and social needs. It provides a gentle physical activity that can be enjoyed by people with limited mobility. It also encourages social interaction and teamwork, promoting a sense of belonging and camaraderie. B. An open-air concert is enjoyable but may not fully engage residents in both physical and social aspects. While it offers entertainment, it lacks interactive elements that foster social engagement and physical involvement. C. This activity requires more mobility than wheelchair-bound residents may have, especially if it involves walking on uneven terrain or sitting on the ground. D. A tea party in the courtyard is a social activity but does not offer as much physical engagement or variety as a picnic in the park. While it is a pleasant option, it may not provide the same level of physical stimulation and change of scenery.
