Answer to Question 1

ANS: 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

ANS: D
Parents with a lack of social support, history of abuse as a child, or who have minimum educa-tion, a tendency toward depression, or multiple stress factors may be at risk for abusing their children. Parents who have high expectations for their children or are sensitive to their children's needs do not have a tendency toward abuse. Parents who have their sense of control threatened do not have a tendency toward abuse.
