I had her try that also. She just doesn't have the hand strength.
On what handgun did she try manipulating the slide?

Not everyone is capable of proper usage of a firearm, just like not everyone is capable of safe driving. Sometimes self defense tools become detrimental to the user and those around them.
My wife has bad arthritis and cannot rack anything. She has dry fired a LCR357 and LCR22. The LCR22 she could not pull the trigger but on the 357 she did, barely, but she did. We were just talking today about "what if"; sort of like your lady friend; we need to look at other options. The heart is there but the coordination and strength is not.
I have a feeling this is what her problem is. She is in her 80's so a lot to overcome. Her health is failing. I did tell her to buy a dog she did. A chihuahua pup. That should alert her to about any noise lol.
Explain to her that 25acp is identical to 22lr, except it is center fire and more reliable.
Oh, yes. Got two myself. Not only are they the neighborhood watch, they are also the fireworks police.
