You are at the residence of an alert and oriented 87-year-old female who is very short of breath but is refusing to go to the hospital. Rather, she wants you to treat her at home and then leave when she feels better. As an EMT knowledgeable of the characteristics and behaviors of this age group, you would become suspicious that her request is based on the fact that she:
A) may have Alzheimer's dementia and has yet to be diagnosed. B) is concerned that she does not have the money to pay for the ambulance transport. C) is concerned that she may be giving up the independence of living in her home. D) does not trust those who are younger in age to take care of her.
