Active caregiving by great-grandparents is described by which term?

• A. Involved great-grandparents
• B. Inpatient hospice
• C. Bereavement
• D. Hospice

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the degree of involvement a relative has in caregiving. Active caregiving by great-grandparents is described by “involved great-grandparents” because it specifically signals that they are taking an active, hands-on role in providing daily care and support. This label focuses on the caregiver’s engagement level rather than on care settings or emotional processes.

The other terms refer to care contexts rather than who is doing the caregiving: inpatient hospice denotes a hospital-like setting for end-of-life care; bereavement is the process of grieving after a loss; hospice is the broader end-of-life care approach that can occur in various settings but doesn’t describe the caregiver’s personal involvement.
