Ethel is a 96-year-old nursing home resident who will be moving in with her daughter in one week. She will be living on the main floor of her daughter’s home. Her daughter and her husband sleep upstairs. They express concerns about hearing Ethel if she encounters a problem during the night. What do you recommend to Ethel and her daughter?
  1. Use an easy push button intercom to communicate between the two floors of the house.
  2. Use a baby monitor to listen for problems in Ethel’s bedroom.
  3. Use a video monitoring system to keep track of Ethel.
  4. Sleep on the couch on the same floor as Ethel’s bedroom.
Explanation
Answer: A. You recommend to Ethel and her daughter that they use an easy push button intercom to communicate between the two floors. If Ethel has problems during the night, she can call her daughter on the intercom to come help her. A baby monitor only has a listening action, but not a communication function. A video monitoring system invades Ethel’s privacy.
