Question

The nursing student is studying violence and mistreatment against the older woman. While researching it, the student learns that laws require health care professionals to report elder or vulnerable person mistreatment. How many states currently have these laws?

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Explanation:

Currently, all fifty states in the country have laws that require health professionals to report elder or vulnerable person mistreatment. The reason is that a vulnerable person is often unable to get himself away from the abuser. Moreover, the person might not be able to ask for help, or might even be unaware of the fact that he is being abused.
