What is the term for the care used after rehabilitation to maintain a person's function and increase independence?

  1. Resuscitation

  2. Restraint

  3. Restorative care

  4. Rights

The correct answer is: Restorative care

Restorative care is the term that refers to the interventions and support provided after rehabilitation in order to help individuals maintain their functional abilities and promote increased independence. This type of care focuses on assisting patients to achieve the highest possible level of health and well-being, ensuring that they can manage daily activities and live as independently as possible following a period of rehabilitation. Resuscitation, on the other hand, involves emergency procedures to restore life or consciousness and does not pertain to ongoing care after rehabilitation. Restraint involves measures to restrict a person’s movements, which is contrary to the aims of promoting independence. Rights refer to the entitlements of individuals, particularly in regard to their dignity and autonomy, but do not specifically address the ongoing care needed after rehabilitation.
