Which of the following is considered a sign of neglect?

  1. Being overly talkative

  2. Complaints about the food quality

  3. Frequent family visits

  4. Weight loss

The correct answer is: Being overly talkative

Neglect refers to the failure to provide the necessary care, assistance, supervision, or attention that a person needs for their health and well-being. Being overly talkative is not a sign of neglect; it may simply be a person's personality trait or communication style. Complaints about food quality and frequent family visits do not necessarily indicate neglect either. On the other hand, weight loss can be a significant sign of neglect. Unexplained or unintentional weight loss can be a result of inadequate nutrition and care, which can be indicative of neglect in a caregiving environment. Monitoring and addressing changes in weight are crucial aspects of caregiving to ensure the individual's overall health and well-being.
