As it relates to human behavior in the social environment, the aging process is marked by loss. Older adults lose many things as they age, including their ability to drive, eat or bathe on their own. Which of the following factors influence the extent to which an elderly person will interact with others?
  1. Support services
  2. Abundant relatives
  3. Health and mobility
  4. Friends of the same age
Explanation
Answer: C - As the elderly lose the ability to be mobile within society, their large network of social circles start to grow smaller. Eventually, the only people within an older individual’s life tend to be a few close relatives. An assessment will see this withdrawal as beneficial to the community and elderly.
