Unit 7 M1 & D1 The immediate and long effects of two types of abuse 
In this essay, I will be assessing the likely immediate effects and to also evaluate the potential long term effects of the two types of abuse on health and wellbeing of adults. The two abuses which I would be evaluating is physical abuse and psychological abuse, how both abuse can affect a vulnerable adult in the long and short term affect.
Physical abuse: Those Vulnerable adults who had experienced physical abuse can have a short term and a significant impact on the person’s life. A short term affect would be if a service provider were to continuously beat a service user this can leave bruises on their body. This would mean the vulnerable adult needs medical attention and if they don’t get this it can affect their health due to the bruises left on the service user body. This would leave the service user in pain and agony which could lead to the service user self-harming themselves. For example an old adult who is vulnerable and are being abuse by service provider would have less physical strength and less physical flexibility or could already have disabilities or impairments which makes them vulnerable. With older people their bones can break more easily and takes long to heal.
If a service provider were to physically abuse an old vulnerable adult it’s likely the old vulnerable adult develop injuries which would lead to serious harm or death. For example, physical abuse may result in a hip fracture. Another immediate effect is that those vulnerable adult who had experience physical abuse would also often experience isolation, depression or anxiety. It is said that these signs may be mistaken for memory loss or illness; however they are really affected of stress and worry. Another immediate affect would be if the vulnerable adult is sad, feel shame and embarrassment about what had happened to them and the vulnerable adult may start to eat less, use more medications to try and cope with the emotional and physical hurt. Another affect would be the vulnerable
