Exhausted or malicious caregivers or family members may abuse elders. Some providers are reluctant to open this \u201cPandora\u2019s Box\u201d line of questioning for various reasons. They may think that a patient will be offended if asked. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in studies, more than 80% of women appreciated being asked and thought more of the health care provider for asking (1). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providers should always spend time alone with a patient to given them the privacy to ask very personal or difficult questions. This is true even for elders with dementia whose responses may be surprisingly different when alone than with a family member or caregiver in the room. \u00a0Some physicians are uncomfortable asking about abuse because they do not know how to deal with the problem. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The approach is to recognize and refer to the experts rather than try to get into territory in which they are neither expert nor comfortable. \u00a0The Stanford website listed below has an excellent brief video clip on interviewing a patient alone and asking the right questions. In Hawaii, an excellent referral source is the Domestic Violence Action Center (2).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If patients are not ready to make the call, they can be provided with ready access to this number and pre-printed advice to which they can turn when ready. \u00a0UHP will be stocking our clinics with items that can be provided to patients so that they can have these readily and unobtrusively at hand. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domestic Violence Action Center:\u00a0<strong>808-534-0040 \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For adults aged 60 and older with a disability, a provider who suspects abuse is required to report to Adult Protective Services (APS) (3).\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they are a member of a health care team, the provider is required to be assured that a designated team member is making the report. \u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The APS phone numbers are: <\/span><\/p><p><strong>&#8211;
