Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Under Florida's LTC terminology standards in Chapter 627, Florida Statutes, custodial care is the least intensive level of long-term care: help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating, delivered primarily to assist daily living rather than to treat a medical condition. Because no skilled medical judgment is needed, custodial care may be provided by non-medical personnel, including trained aides or family members.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Continuous physician-directed nursing by licensed staff defines skilled care, the most intensive LTC level.
- C) Periodic rehabilitative therapy describes intermediate care, which is more medical in nature than custodial care.
- D) Emergency treatment of acute conditions is acute medical care outside the long-term care spectrum entirely.
