Exercise 34

An elderly husband and wife decide to live in along-term care facility so that their family won't worry about them. Upon admission, the wife is placed in room 125, and the husband is placed next door in room 126. They ask to share the same room, but the admitting clerk explains that the facility policy doesn't allow men and women to stay in the same room. Describe your remarks to the family and how you would respond to the admitting clerk or your supervisor.
