4. Prevention strategies for elder abuse include listening to elders and their caregivers and addressing their needs. Population health nurses can refer elders to day care centers or assist caregivers to access respite services. Suppressing feelings will not prevent the client from acting out aggressively. The client does not need to be reported to the authorities. Recommending that the client move to another city does not take into consideration the client's or the elder parent's needs.
