An older woman tearfully tells a nurse, "I must buy my neighbor all of his groceries, or he will not drive me to the store or the doctor." This is an example of which type of elder mistreatment?

A. Caregiver neglect: Caregiver neglect involves the failure to meet an older adult’s basic needs, such as providing food, hygiene, or medical care. In this situation, the neighbor is not neglecting her care but rather manipulating her for personal financial gain, which is a different form of mistreatment. B. Financial exploitation: Financial exploitation occurs when someone improperly uses an older adult’s money, property, or assets for personal benefit. The neighbor is coercing the woman into buying groceries in exchange for transportation, taking advantage of her dependence and emotional vulnerability for financial gain. C. Abandonment: Abandonment involves deserting an older adult who requires assistance, leaving them without necessary support or care. Although the woman depends on her neighbor for transportation, he is not abandoning her but instead exploiting her financially through manipulation. D. Psychological abuse: Psychological abuse includes verbal threats, intimidation, or emotional manipulation that cause distress or fear. While the neighbor’s behavior exerts emotional pressure, the primary harm here is financial exploitation rather than emotional torment.
