What does "short-term care" encompass?

  1. Emergency care and routine check-ups

  2. Psychiatric care only

  3. Recuperative care or respite care

  4. Rehabilitative therapy only

The correct answer is: Recuperative care or respite care

Short-term care refers to a type of care that is meant to provide temporary and immediate relief for those who need it. It typically does not involve long-term treatments or procedures. Option A may seem correct because both emergency care and routine check-ups can be considered short-term, but the main focus of short-term care is on recuperation and respite. Option B is incorrect as it only includes psychiatric care which is not the sole focus of short-term care. Option D is also incorrect as it only includes rehabilitative therapy which is just one aspect of short-term care. Short-term care can encompass a variety of services, but the main focus is on providing immediate relief and recuperation.
