Vulnerable persons are defined as which of the following?

Vulnerable persons are defined as which of the following?

• A. Groups of people who are at a greater risk of exposure to a specific negative outcome than the general population
• B. Vulnerable persons
• C. Examples of trauma
• D. Population at risk

Answer: (B)

This question tests how vulnerability is defined within the investigation framework. In the materials, vulnerability is captured by the defined category itself—vulnerable persons. Using the exact label aligns with how the policy identifies who needs additional protections, so this option is the best fit. The other ideas describe related risk concepts (being at greater risk or at risk in general) or refer to trauma, but they do not use the defined term used to designate this group.
