Category - Assessment

One of the sometimes invisible, but important factors to note when gathering information regarding elder abuse is:
  1. Abuser history
  2. The victim’s timidity
  3. Access to weapons
  4. Access to safety
Explanation
Answer - B - Access to safety, weapons, and history is all fairly detailed information that comes to the forefront of a conversation. However, if someone is timid or afraid and is unable to express themselves properly, they may be willing to place themselves at more risk if it means keeping things safe for the present moment. Fear in reporting is one of the top reasons things do not get investigated; create a calm and safe environment.
