Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Neglect is the most common form of elder abuse, whether it is caregiver neglect or self-neglect. Neglect is more likely to occur than emotional abuse, financial abuse, or physical mistreatment resulting in injuries.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Adopting a healthy lifestyle and obtaining regular medical care before becoming pregnant can help to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Questioning the woman's statement would not be a therapeutic response from the nurse, rather the nurse should reply by providing support and education for the woman.
