Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
Barriers to reporting elder abuse include victim shame, fear of reprisals, fear of loss of caregiver, and lack of knowledge of agencies that provide services. Many elders fear that reporting abuse results in their placement in long-term care because the current caregiver is the abuser. Choices 1 and 3 are incorrect. Choice 2 might be true but is not the best choice. Psychosocial Integrity
