A Woman Said, "I've Never Been Retired Before

A woman said, "I've never been retired before. I didn't plan it but it's OK. I'm still doing what I used to do otherwise; I go to church, make quilts for charity, and babysit my grandkids. Do you think I should be trying to find another job for a few years?" Which of the following would be the most appropriate response by the nurse?

A) "For lots of people, retirement, even if unplanned, is much like life has always been."
B) "It's okay to slow down at your age; why look for problems?"
C) "You really need to get out of your house more and be more active, even if you don't get paid at the position."
D) "Without a job, you really don't have an identity. Have you been to the unemployment office?"
