Question

Eighty-four-year-old Carla, who lives in Indiana, is frail and in need of assistance. Her daughter Jennifer has tried to provide help and has even offered to have Carla move in with her, but Carla has refused. According to the text, which is NOT a reason she is unwilling to accept help?

Answer 1

Answer:

She no longer wants to maintain her independence and wants to be institutionalized.

Explanation:

Although Carla is frail and really needs assistance in her everyday work, she does not want her daughter Jennifer to be the one providing the needed help that she requires even though Jennifer has suggested to move in with her. However, Carla does not feel like giving up her independence nor is she thinking of being institutionalized.
