TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Management of elder sexual abuse cases in critical care settings JO - Critical care nursing clinics of North America A1 - Burgess, Ann Wolbert A1 - Watt, Margaret E. A1 - Brown, Kathleen M. A1 - Petrozzi, Dona SP - 313 EP - 9, x VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - Elder sexual abuse remains a silent and often invisible crime in persons who have limited cognitive abilities. On occasion, physical injury to elders is serious enough to require hospitalization and at that point, critical care nurses swing into action. In addition to providing acute care interventions, nurses can collect important forensic evidence through documenting and photographing injuries and reporting suspected cases to proper authorities.
