Which of the following is an example of neglect related to daily care?

• A. Providing timely medical care
• B. Documenting changes in health
• C. Sleeping on duty or abandoning a workstation
• D. Respecting privacy

Answer: (C)

Neglect in daily care means failing to meet essential needs and safety duties that keep someone healthy and secure in their day-to-day routine. Sleeping on duty or abandoning a workstation fits this because it stops you from watching for medical issues, emergencies, or changes in condition and from providing regular care like assistance with hygiene, meals, safety monitoring, and timely responses. That lapse puts the person at risk.

Providing timely medical care, documenting changes in health, and respecting privacy are all appropriate care actions. They show you are actively monitoring, communicating, and protecting the person’s well-being and rights, not neglecting those daily responsibilities.
