Explanation:

• For the first question: Psychological abuse involves non - physical harm like threats or emotional manipulation. Telling a patient they won't be fed dinner is a form of emotional threat, which is psychological abuse. Sexual abuse involves unwanted sexual contact; physical abuse is physical harm; financial abuse is about misusing a person's finances.
• For the second question: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by memory loss, including repeating questions or topics as the patient forgets they have already been answered. Depression is more about mood (sadness, loss of interest); diabetes is a metabolic disorder (related to blood sugar); PTSD (Post - Traumatic Stress Disorder) is related to trauma (flashbacks, hyper - arousal).

Answer:

• First question: Psychological
• Second question: Alzheimer's
