  • 1. The alarm signs for potential elder abuse in this situation include the submissive behavior and the patient's reliance on her son to answer direct questions.  In addition, the fact that the son has the patient's checkbook and forges the signature is troubling and suggests financial abuse.    2.  The next steps in reporting suspected elder abuse should include speaking with the patient alone...let the patient know that you simply want to help.  If the patient is reluctant, it may signal abuse.  If the situation is not urgent, notify adult protective services in the home state.

Performing cardio such as running or lifting weights could help your body tire and release that stress so you may sleep easier at night. Or perhaps you are stressed because you cannot focus. Performing stretches or yoga could help you relax and relieve stress so that you may be able to focus better.

Answer:

Abortion

Explanation:

An abortion is a procedure in which a pregnancy is terminated. It can be carried out by taking medication or a surgical procedure. They are safe medical procedures when carried out properly. Reduced access to abortions increases the likelihood of them being performed without medical supervision, and makes them much less safe.

They are very rarely carried out after 24 weeks
