you have noticed that mrs. nash has changed from being happy after spending the whole weekend shopping and dining out with her daughter to anxiously looking at the clock as the time for her daughter’s next visit draws near. she has even asked you whether you could work overtime this weekend. which phase of the cycle of abuse does this behaviour represent? ch:12
abusive phase
controlling phase
honeymoon phase
tension - building phase

Explanation:

First Question (Ronald's pressure sores):

Pressure sores often result from neglect (e.g., lack of proper care, repositioning). Physical abuse involves intentional harm, sexual abuse is sexual in nature, emotional abuse is psychological. Neglect leads to unaddressed care needs causing pressure sores.

The tension - building phase of the abuse cycle involves increasing anxiety/tension before an abusive event. Mrs. Nash’s anxiety as her daughter’s visit nears fits this. The abusive phase is the abuse itself, honeymoon is reconciliation, controlling is about power, not this anxiety - building.

Answer:

A. Neglect
