- What are the laws in your state regarding mandatory reporting related to suspected abuse and neglect?
- Describe the impact of reporting requirements on management strategies.
- Describe an example provided during the interview regarding a case of suspected abuse and neglect.
- Describe what was done by the facility to attempt to resolve the suspected abuse and neglect.
- How does this align with laws in your state and ethical considerations?
