Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If institutional long-term care is needed, a single adult is required to contribute all but 35 dollars of his or her monthly income to partially cover the actual costs of care. It is not nec-essarily correct to assume the family will provide financial support to the client. The remain-ing options do not adequately address the client's concerns and appear to discount their con-cerns.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In elder mistreatment by exploitation, the abuser takes advantage of the older person for monetary or personal benefit. In this case, the client is being coerced to buy her neighbor's groceries. Abandonment is defined as the desertion or willful forsaking of an older person. Abuse is any action or inaction harming or endangering the welfare of an older adult. The definition of neglect involves failure to provide adequate care or services for an older adult.
