Wisconsin CNA State Exam Vocabulary Practice

What term refers to an intentional infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, or intimidation that results in harm to the resident?

1. Residents

2. Resident belongings

3. Resident abuse

4. Reposition

The correct answer is: Resident abuse

Resident abuse refers to any intentional act that causes harm or injury to a resident. This can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as neglect or financial exploitation. The other options, such as residents (A) or resident belongings (B), are broad categories that do not specifically refer to the act of intentional harm or abuse towards a resident. Reposition (D) is also incorrect as it refers to the act of moving a person's body or shifting their position to prevent bedsores or discomfort, but does not necessarily involve intentional harm or injury. Therefore, the best option that specifically addresses the question of intentional harm or injury is resident abuse (C).
