Which of the following are three examples of neglect related to daily care?

• A. Intentional lack of attention to physical needs, failure to report changes in health, and sleeping on duty or abandoning a workstation
• B. Providing meals on time, reporting changes, and staying on duty
• C. Following the support plan strictly
• D. Regular exercise and social activities

Answer: (A)

Neglect in daily care means failing to meet essential daily living needs and safety responsibilities for someone who depends on you. The three examples shown—intentional lack of attention to physical needs, not reporting changes in health, and sleeping on duty or abandoning a workstation—illustrate direct omissions that can harm the person. Ignoring basic physical needs leaves someone unfed, unclean, or unsafe, and not reporting health changes can delay treatment or worsen conditions. Sleeping on duty or leaving a workstation abandons supervision, creating immediate safety risks.

Other options describe positive or appropriate care: providing meals on time, reporting changes, and staying on duty reflect responsible caregiving; following the support plan strictly shows adherence to agreed-upon strategies; regular exercise and social activities promote well-being, not neglect.
