For example, infrequent arguments or disagreements that occur during the course of normal. Social interactions (e.g., dinner table discussions) would not meet the definition of abuse. o Both residents having a mental disorder or cognitive impairment does not automatically preclude a resident from engaging in deliberate or non-accidental actions. o It is important to remember that abuse included the term willful which means that the individual'[s action was deliberate (not inadvertent or accidental), regardless of whether the individual intended to inflict injury or harm. Example of a deliberate (willful) action would be a cognitively impaired resident who strikes out at a resident within his/her reach, as opposed to a resident with a neurological disease who has involuntary movements (e.g., muscle spasms, twitching, jerking, writhing movements) and his/her body movements impact a resident who is nearby.
