Which term means control over and responsibility for care?

• A. Restraint
• B. Custody
• C. Instrumentalities
• D. Trauma

Answer: (B)

Custody. In legal and caregiving contexts, custody means both the control to make decisions and the responsibility to provide care for someone, such as a child or dependent, including where they live and how their needs are met. Restraint is about limiting movement, trauma refers to injury or emotional damage, and instrumentalities are tools or means used, none of which capture the duty and authority over care. A parent or guardian with custody has the ongoing obligation to support and protect the person in their care.
