4. give the client the rules and regulations of the agency.

Answer 1

Answer: option 3 : The client will benefit most if the Ipn offers him tasks that require mental activities to execute

Step-by-step explanation:

Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious inflammatory disorder which usually affects the joints of the human body especially in the hands as well as the feet.

It's a medical condition that has to do with the immune system fighting the tissues of the human body, joints and even some other internal organs. Rheumatoid arthritis patients usually experience pains in the joints or muscles, swelling & stiffness of joints as well as anaemia and fatigue

since it is rheumatoid arthritis that caused this middle aged adult to retire early, if he/she later attends activities at the local senior citizens' centre, the client will definitely benefit if the Ipn/Ivn offers him/her activities that require complex mental activities since it's the brain that will be employed to be doing a huge chunk of the tasks and not the bones or joints
