Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should watch out for evidence of poor grooming; it could indicate that the client is a victim of elder abuse. Such a client usually spends or donates large sums of money. Weight loss and malnutrition are common among elders who are abused. Such clients also make frequent visits to the healthcare facility.
