Hannah is an 82-year-old nursing home patient who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. You are teaching her to use a sock aid to put on her socks, but she does not understand the process. How can you adapt this activity for Hannah?
  1. Break the activity down into smaller steps. Have Hannah complete just one or two steps until she learns them, then add additional steps.
  2. Have Hannah do the activity over and over until she gets it.
  3. Put the sock on the sock aid for Hannah every time. Then, just have her pull the sock on.
  4. Ask nursing staff to help Hannah with her socks.
Explanation
Answer: A. If Hannah does not understand the process, she may not be able to remember the multiple-step sequence involved. You break the activity down into smaller steps, and have Hannah complete just one or two steps until she learns them. Then add additional steps until Hannah has learned the process of using the sock aid to put on her socks.
