How can you characterize a "Withdrawn resident"?

  1. A colorless cell that circulates in the blood and body fluids.

  2. Actions taken to ensure the safety of the person in or using a wheel chair.

  3. A resident who doesn't seem to be aware of other people.

  4. Verbal, physical or sexual abuse by residents, other staff.

The correct answer is: A resident who doesn't seem to be aware of other people.

A withdrawn resident can effectively be characterized as someone who appears disconnected or disengaged from their surroundings and the people around them. This description highlights an individual who may be emotionally or psychologically removed, leading to a lack of interaction or awareness of others. Such behavior can stem from various factors, including mental health issues, social anxiety, or previous experiences that may contribute to their isolation. This view aligns closely with the understanding that withdrawn individuals often do not participate in social activities or communicate with others, which can be crucial for staff and caregivers to recognize. Addressing this aspect of their behavior can lead to better support and interventions aimed at encouraging social interaction and emotional well-being.
