Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Mr. Olander's excitement to learn about his new prosthesis indicates a higher level of motivation compared to the other residents. Jan has been struggling with following nursing directives and Mr. Keevers may be eager to leave but it is unclear what his motivation is for doing so. Mrs. Zann's helpfulness in coaching newcomers does not necessarily indicate a high level of personal motivation.
