Question

While assessing an older adult during a regular health checkup, a nurse finds signs of elder abuse. which physical findings would further confirm the nurse's suspicion? select all that apply?

Answer 1

There are no options to select, but physical findings would vary. I assume scratches, bruises, and any red marks. Other types of abuse could be neglecting. Neglecting would include signs like not clean, unbrushed hair, dirty clothes, poor sleep hygiene, not taking meds properly, and not seeking medical attention for any medical issue.
