Passage / Scenario
A home health nurse is conducting an admission assessment of an elderly patient who has their caregiver present.Which observation should the nurse identify as a potential sign of elder abuse?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because a caregiver insisting on staying in the room can be a potential sign of elder abuse, as it may indicate controlling behavior or a desire to monitor interactions. The other choices are less indicative of abuse: A could be related to mobility issues, B may reflect personal hygiene preferences, and D is a common legal arrangement for managing finances.
