Portion Name: Week 13 Reflection Quiz An 80-year-old female presents with hypertension and osteoporosis. She was recently widowed and has moved into her daughter’s home. She appears depressed during her office visit, with multiple bruises on her upper arm. Her son-in-law accompanies her to the office and assures you that she is taken care of but “very clumsy.” The patient avoids eye contact, but after her son-in-law leaves the exam room, she states that she is having “disagreements” with her daughter about the inconvenience she has caused. She changes the subject when you ask for additional details, claiming that she “doesn’t remember” the cause of her bruises. What is the best course of action in cases of suspected elder abuse? 1. If the patient is competent and does not admit to abuse, you are legally liable if you report your suspicion to authorities. 2. Tell her son-in-law of your suspicions and watch his response. 3. Call the patient’s daughter and ask to meet privately to discuss her mother’s health. 4. Report suspected elder abuse immediately to adult protective services.
