In this assignment you are required to perform an elder abuse assessment utilizing the elder abuse reporting form. Download the elder abuse reporting form. Watch the following 4 videos from the California Department of Justice on your legal responsibility as a mandated reporter. (As an RN you are mandated to report any elder abuse you witness or learn of, regardless of where you see it, whether or not you are an employee where it happens, or who commits the abuse.) They prosecute people who they learn knew about the abuse but didnt report it, so not following this law could cost you your nursing licenses, both RN and NP licenses.

Additional Help:
CDSS/State provides a training for Elder/Dependent Adult Abuse/Neglect training it is not as good as the mandated videos because the information is not as specific; it is quite general in nature, but is for all mandated reporters. It can be found here and the time to complete varies on pace. https://cdss.ca.gov/MandatedReporting/story.html.
