A community health nurse is addressing the issue of elder abuse in the community. Which intervention should be prioritized?

  • A. providing education on the signs of elder abuse
  • B. setting up a support group for elder abuse survivors
  • C. partnering with local law enforcement to increase patrols
  • D. creating a confidential hotline for reporting abuse
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The prioritized intervention for addressing elder abuse in the community should be the creation of a confidential hotline for reporting abuse. A confidential hotline offers a safe and accessible way for individuals to report elder abuse and seek help promptly. Providing education on the signs of elder abuse (Choice A) is important but may not directly address immediate reporting and intervention needs. Setting up a support group for elder abuse survivors (Choice B) is beneficial for emotional support but may not address the primary need for reporting abuse. Partnering with local law enforcement to increase patrols (Choice C) focuses on prevention rather than providing a direct reporting mechanism for victims.
