What is the primary purpose of a geriatric chair?

Facilitate exercise for residents

Help residents who are mostly bedbound avoid the need to stay in bed all day

A geriatric chair is primarily used to help residents who are mostly bedbound due to their advanced age and/or health issues. It allows them to maintain better posture and avoid staying in bed all day, which can lead to health complications such as muscle atrophy and pressure sores. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because a geriatric chair is not designed for exercise, medical procedures, or entertainment purposes. While it may provide some limited physical activity for residents, its main purpose is to improve their quality of life by providing a safe and comfortable sitting option. Similarly, while it may be used during medical procedures for mobility purposes, it is not the primary purpose of the chair. And while it may provide some enjoyment for residents, it is not meant to be a source of entertainment.
