💊 NCLEX-RN Exam Prep

A nurse is providing education to a community group about common signs of elder abuse. Which finding should the nurse include as a potential indicator of neglect?

A Frequent visits from family members
B Unexplained financial transactions
C Poor personal hygiene and soiled clothing
D Multiple fractures at different stages of healing

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Poor personal hygiene and soiled clothing are common indicators of neglect, suggesting a lack of basic care. Financial transactions relate to financial abuse, and multiple fractures suggest physical abuse. Frequent visits are not an abuse sign.
