Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Mauk and Schmidt (2004) define spirituality as the core of a person's being, involving one's relationship with God or a higher power. Spirituality may or may not involve a belief in a Supreme Being. Depending on the individual beliefs, spirituality may involve seen and unseen forces. For example, the use of religious articles defines spirituality for some individuals and these items can be seen and held. Spirituality encompasses many religions with varied belief systems.

Self-neglect is characterized as the behavior of the elderly person that threatens health and safety; it is usually a failure to provide sufficiently for him or herself. Institutional abuse refers to abuse occurring in residential facilities such as nursing homes. Domestic abuse refers to any of several forms of maltreatment of an older person by someone who has a special relationship with the elder. Emotional or psychological abuse is defined as the infliction of anguish, pain, or distress through verbal or nonverbal acts
