Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Neglect is a passive form of abuse in which caregivers fail to provide for the needs of the older person under their care. Failure to provide necessary medical care may constitute neglect because with no means of going to the doctor or pharmacy, the older person may suffer or even die.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Physical abuse is any action that causes physical pain or injury. Inappropriate use of drugs, force-feeding, physical restraints, and punishment of any kind are examples of physical abuse.
