An Older Patient Is Experiencing Self-Neglect

An older patient is experiencing self-neglect. A nurse recognizes this after the client states:

A) "My son sometimes calls me stupid and annoying."
B) "Those bruises are from my grandson; he gets frustrated with me sometimes."
C) "Yes, my clothes are a bit dirty, but I live alone and I haven't done laundry in a while."
D) "My nephew had to borrow quite a bit of money, leaving me not enough to buy medication this month."
