...article about what senior citizens may experience if they are residing in a nursing home. In Chapter 13 - Patient Abuse, of Legal and Ethical Issues for Health Professionals, Pogzar mentions how serious senior abuse is in America. According to Pogzar (2013), “Most states have enacted statutes mandating the reporting of senior abuse. Seniors often fail to report incidents of abuse because they fear retaliation and being believed. Undue pain, abandonment, and premature death should not happen to senior citizens that are living in a nursing home but it does happen often. The article gives 6 warning signs to be aware if an individual has a loved one in a nursing home or assistant living facility. The most common is weight loss, bruises, bedsores, falls, staff inattention and restraints. Negligent nursing homes often do not have the sufficient amount of staff members to care for their resident. The staff may not provide or ensure that the resident is getting the proper nutrition needed and the most medication of the elderly affects their appetite and they do not want to eat. Bruises are obviously another sign of abuse. Any injury such as bruises or cuts should require medical attention immediately to determine its cause. Frequent falls are also symptoms of neglect. Elderly citizens are common to have falls but not so frequently. According to Consumer Justice Group (2015), “It is the legal responsibility of a nursing home to develop a nursing care plan for each nursing home...
