Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Institutional abuse information can be hard to find due to several reasons: Residents may fear retribution if they report abuse, leading to a reluctance to come forward with complaints. Managers might fear adverse publicity that could tarnish the facility's reputation and deter potential clients. Staff members could fear losing their jobs if they report abuse or if the facility faces backlash due to abuse allegations. Family members might worry about the challenge of finding a new and safe facility for their loved one if they report abuse, making them hesitant to bring issues to light. Billing department concerns over payment are less directly related to the reporting of abuse and more about financial operations, making it less relevant in the context of hiding abuse information.
