Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The nurse has not yet gathered enough data to determine whether elder abuse is a potential factor. The client/family may not know the source of the bruises, and in fact may provide inaccurate information if they contribute to an abusive situation. It is important to consider adverse medication effects and some medical conditions as potential causes of bruising.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D, E, F
The National Center on Elder Abuse (2013a) recognizes seven major types of abuse: physical, sexual, emotional or psychological, neglect, abandonment, financial or material exploitation, and self-neglect.
