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?

A. A team ring-toss competition: This activity allows residents in wheelchairs to actively participate in a physical game while promoting social interaction and teamwork. It meets both physical engagement and socialization needs in an inclusive and accessible manner. B. An open air concert: While enjoyable and socially stimulating, this activity is primarily passive and does not provide physical engagement. Residents remain seated and may have limited interaction, so it partially meets their needs. C. A tea party in the courtyard: A tea party encourages social interaction but provides minimal physical activity. It addresses social needs but does not adequately promote physical engagement for the residents. D. A picnic in the park: A picnic offers a change of environment and some socialization, but it may not actively involve wheelchair-bound residents in physical activity. Accessibility and participation could also be limited depending on terrain.
