Elaine is an 89-year-old widow who has lived
independently for the past 20 years. She has become
very frail and has had a fall resulting in hospitalisation
for a broken hip. Since the fall she has had great
difficulty walking.The doctor is reluctant to release
her from hospital until she can find accommodation in
a setting where nursing care is available. Elaine tells
the nurse that she is quite capable of looking after
herself and is adamant that she is going home.
Which response by the nurse will best help her to
deal with Elaine’s reluctance to accept supported
accommodation?
A Talking to Elaine about the available options and
inviting her to discuss her concerns about her
future.
B Explaining to Elaine that 24-hour nursing care,
healthy meals and an appropriate exercise
program are just what she needs.
C Reassuring Elaine that there are many good
quality accommodation arrangements that will
enable her to stay as independent as possible.
D Indicating that she understands Elaine’s
reluctance to give up her home but feels it is
necessary, as Elaine must have nursing care.

Sigh that was a sample of an easy question from my australian umat test I had to take today..I'm dead!!Didn't have time to finish..The section on patterns was even worse..

I was pretty sad after the test but I saw qt a few familiar faces at the test centre:)I met Iris,XingNing and Timothy from rj to name a few..Nice to see pple I recognize who might be going to australia too:)

Anyway,I was reading yahui's blog earlier and came across the nice familiar final fantasy tune she's playing on her blog:)It somehow reminded me of the rj days when everyone would play everything from final fantasy songs to Jay Chou ballads on the old piano in the percussion corner of the band room..Its terribly old and out of tune but its always given me that right-at-home feeling whenever I play it..That was the piano which made me love playing piano again:)After failing my grade 8 piano exam by a miserable 2 marks in sec 3,I gave up piano lessons and hardly went near my piano at home for the whole of sec 4..I remember being bored in the bandroom and being desperate for some form of distraction from homework,hence I sat down at that old piano and started coming up with my own tunes:)heh I guess that old piano also brought me and lionel together:)I was really impressed by all the fun stuff he could play:)I recalled this a couple of weeks ago and he described it nicely: "It was like having a conversation with music.":)Yup sound was more than just music,it was like talking without words:)I miss the music part of band,and I miss the fun part of band too where I get to see you guys practically everyday:)I think music is really one of the most beautiful things created by god on this earth:)hmm I feel inspired..I'm gonna bang around on the piano now...
