Answer to Question 1

A
Older adults are at risk for financial abuse through fraud, coercion to relinquish property rights, and money mismanagement. A low-income, frail, older person would most likely not be giving money to family members on a regular basis, because the client would need the money to meet basic needs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Physical neglect is failure to provide adequate food, proper clothing, shelter, hygiene, or neces-sary medical care.
