Week Two: Learning Outcomes Paper

Changes due to the aging process also need to be addressed. Calcium reabsorption increases especially in women after the menopause, this decreases bone density. Lean tissue decreases as fat increases with age; there is also a decline in the percentage of body water meaning that body temperature is more difficult to control. Thirst decline and decreased renal function means that older people can become dehydrated (Copeman 1999). The function of the bowel reduces, meaning that the elderly are more susceptible to indigestion and constipation. The risk of constipation is also increased with Parkinson’s disease (Parkinson’s UK 2011). The final consideration is the deterioration of the sensory system. Taste, smell, vison, pain and touch all decline meaning that food may not be as appealing (Copeman 1999).

Elderly people physically slow down and have lower energy levels. There are changes in the body systems and organs that can usually result in all types of

While aging does not harm a person Its effects can devastate families, children, and acquaintances. 3 of the most well-known effects of Aging Are Parkinson's, alzheimers, and dementia. Well both diseases can take a toll on a person, they each take a different part of a person. Parkinson's effects the inner workings of the brain causing tremors And cannot be cured. Dementia is a disease that eats away at a senior citizens memory, many elderly patients have died due to the fact they forgot how to swallow and choke on their own saliva. Dementia is also linked to forgetfulness in senior citizens because it does interfere with daily living and functionality in their daily lives. Well all three diseases are very different they all do

There are also cognitive changes during middle adulthood. There is a mixed pattern of positive and negative changes in cognitive abilities. Processing speed starts to decrease during this time period however crystallized thought does not decline until older age (pg. 456). Working memory begins to decline however semantic memory continues to increase as we learning throughout our older years (ph 456). Usually most memory decline is during older age and can be attributed to Alzheimer’s disease of dementia.

As people grow older, they develop dental problems which lead to nutritional intake issues. Cognitive function declines affecting memory, decision making, conversing, and problem solving. In addition, falls can occur with mental status disturbances. Lack of social interaction, depression, and anxiety also crop up in the elderly. Sleep patterns are altered by restless legs, snoring, and disrupted breathing sequences. At times, pain can be constant from arthritis, osteoarthritis, or other medical issues (Tabloski, 2014).

As you age, body changes start taking place. Unfortunately, you cannot stop those changes. For example, the skin becomes less elastic and more wrinkled. Oil glands slow down, therefore, making skin drier. Vision becomes affected as well, it is normal for night vision and visual sharpness to decline. Hearing loss also occurs with aging. Sleep

Aging is part of life, as we grow our body changes from the moment we are born we start developing and slowly start to age. The body organs and body system starts developing when we are in our mother’s womb and every day there is a change in our body. As people get older we start having health issues some are moderate but with time it is more likely that does issues will turn into health problems. Aging changes the nervous system, the brain and nervous are your body’s central control. Which means that our body is controlled by the brain. The brain and nervous system control our thoughts, memories, movements and senses. They also help control the organs such as the heart and bowels.

ALS has two meanings. It can refer to multiple adult onset conditions which are characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons. In the UK, Motor neuron disease is the term used to describe these disorders. Also, ALS refers to a specific form of motor neuron disease. This specific form

Nervous system: ageing of the central nervous system affect a wide range of complex activities ( loss of brain wright, lose

As age increases, we can expect some loss of heart, lung, joint, and sexual functioning. Some loss of brain cells and mental efficiency is a normal part of

The extent in which students achieved the intended learning outcome set in the lesson was determined by two elements: (i) the use of expressive skills in performing and, (ii) active participation in the Ancient Greek chorus ensemble performance assessment task. Evidence to support whether the intended learning outcomes were successful or not is within video footage filmed, used as a grading aid. Documenting summative assessments of learning outcome with a camcorder is liberating in a drama classroom as it allows the teacher to initially watch the performance live, then later review the footage of the performance to formally analyse and assess it for marking. “Fair assessment for students [is] difficult

Visual acuity, depth, contrast sensitivity decreases with aging. These changes alter the quality of the information received in the CNS and results in slower processing of the sensory information and less efficient integration of sensory inputs

Face: I would ask the patient to smile, raise the eye brow and feel around the orbital bone to make sure it is intact, and feel on the frontal sinuses and maxillary sinus to make sure that the facial nerves are working well

As we age our bodies get older and with that usually comes more brittle bones, less energy, worse cognitive function, and sometimes uncomfortable sleeping patterns.

As we age we change in several different ways. It has been documented that people over 65; have a 25-30 percent decrease in strength and lose 18-20 percent of their flexibility. Balance is also an issue, with one third of people over 65 taking a serious fall each year. Sight, reaction time and speed as well as motor skills deteriorate. One third of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have issues with hearing. Additionally, extreme
