abstract: One of home care's most important resources is the home health aide. Home care nurses play a critical role in preventing abuse of home health aides and identifying violence-prone environments. A prevention strategy that nurses can use to identify and prevent abuse of both patients and aides is presented using an Assessment, Communication, Education, and Supervision model.
