Final answer:

Elopement is not considered when a resident repeatedly walks up and down a hallway.


Step-by-step explanation:

False. Elopement refers to the act of wandering away or running off from a secure area, such as a long-term care facility. It is commonly seen in individuals with conditions like dementia or autism who have a propensity for wandering. Repeatedly walking up and down a hallway does not necessarily constitute elopement unless there is a risk of leaving a secure area.
