Maltreatment
Recent efforts have focused on using the primary care setting to identify and respond to older adult
abuse (Perel-Levin, 2008). Case management strategies can be effective in providing consistency in
monitoring of adult patient and caregiver behavior (Choi & Mayer, 2000). Research on effective
intervention strategies in this area lags behind that of other areas of violence and is an area where
nursing can make an impact.
