Answer: D) Loss of Dependence

Step-by-step explanation:

Persons who have suffered a stroke will likely become more dependent on caretakers and family during their time of recovery. They would not become less dependent during this time, therefore it is not going to be a contributing factor to depression.

Loss of independence and autonomy as well as the ability to communicate are all common things that happen to stroke victims. Losing their role in the family such as a beloved grandparent or parent that once was active with other family members can be a huge blow to their self esteem.

Hope this helps!
