Hi! Can someone explain the logic behind the correct answer being D!?

All of the following situations are examples of abuse and neglect EXCEPT...

A . Restraining a client according to a physician's order.

B . Leaving a client alone in a bathtub.

C . Threatening to withhold a client's meals.

D. Leaving a client in a wet and soiled bed.

I picked A but the answer sheet says the correct answer is D.

It should be A. Maybe they made a mistake? I'd bring this to your instructors attention.

Well, I already finished the course last week, but I did send it to their company Facebook page and sent an inquiring email to the folks who are in charge of testing and putting out the official practice tests. I was positive it was A, too. Cause else everything is abuse/neglect and leaving someone in wet bedding is such a case of neglect and abuse! But I did get a 94% on the practice test cause I counted that as a correct answer. I'm preparing myself for the big test this summer. Written test I'm not too concerned with so I'm turning my attention mostly to practicing the skills. I wonder what five skills I'll get. I know it's like three small and two long and you need to pass every skill and you need an 87% or above to pass the written part.

The answer should most definitely be "A" See here: http://www.asisvcs.com/publications/pdf/069912.pdf
