Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Depression is highest in elderly persons who are women, medically ill, and receiving long-term care. Many older adults do not complain or volunteer to share their feelings. It is important to carefully assess and observe the older adults for signs of depression as because they express themselves in more subtle ways, such as changes in daily routine, sleeping, and eating patterns.

Answer to Question 2

neglect
Rationale: Physical neglect of a child includes refusal of or delay in seeking health care, abandonment, expulsion from the home or refusal to allow a runaway to return home, and inadequate supervision. Children are vulnerable and relatively powerless, and the effects of maltreatment are infinitely deep and long lasting.
