What type of abuse is involved when a caregiver shares a resident's private medical information without consent?

  1. Financial abuse

  2. Physical abuse

  3. Psychological abuse

  4. Violation of privacy

The correct answer is: Financial abuse

When a caregiver shares a resident's private medical information without their consent, it is considered a form of financial abuse. This is because the unauthorized disclosure of medical information can lead to financial harm, such as identity theft or fraud. Protecting a resident's medical privacy is essential in maintaining their trust and ensuring their well-being. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not specifically address the financial aspect of abusing a resident's private medical information.
