Healthy Ageing Assignment Help

Initial interview:

 Please interview an older person 70 years or older in the community (without a diagnosis of dementia) using 3 (or 4) tools attached.

 1) Healthy Ageing Initial Assessment

 2) The Lawton I-ADL Scale (and Katz Index if the older person is receiving help with ADLs)

 3) Ageing perceptions and Health-related change tool

Subsequent interview: Please complete four relevant focused assessments to investigate the person's problems further. For example, a falls risk assessment or a continence assessment. 

You can find other older person assessment tools in tutorial 4 folders.
The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing is an organisation that has the Try series about assessment tools for older people. You can access Best Practice Assessment Tools for older people at this weblink.

I upload assessment tools which has been used on the tutorials, so please use it.

Present and evaluate your findings for this older person and present a plan of care for this older person that supports healthy ageing according to marking criteria.

     Please address the following criteria using the answer sheet template provided.

  1.  A narrative summary (tell a story) of the person's life and health history from their interview; their socio-demographic information and other relevant information about the person that is important to understand their health. A summary of the older person’s health includes diseases and medications- use appropriate medical language, lay person’s language is not acceptable. (Collected from PART A: Healthy Ageing Initial Assessment tool)
  2.  A summary of findings from the Ageing perceptions & Health-related change Tool- the older person’s current perceptions and expectations of ageing. 
  3.  A summary of findings from Part B: Healthy Ageing Initial Assessment and other evidence-based focused assessments. NB you are not required to reference the assessment tools, but you are required to refer to the assessments by their correct name.
  4.  Evaluation of the person in relation to healthy ageing by comparing the person with a definition of healthy ageing. The evaluation considers all the information provided and discuss areas where the person is ageing well and where the person is not. This section must be referenced to literature about healthy ageing and older people. 
  5.  From the cues collected and your evaluation of this older person's ageing, identify 2 person-centred care problems/issues (nursing diagnosis) that will lead to an improvement in the health of the older person when addressed.
  6.   Presentation of goals for each problem- must be measurable, relate to this person (person-centred) and lead to an improvement in this person’s health.
  7.   Description of two nursing actions for each problem/issue- must be evidenced-based (references required)
  8.   Rewards you for using quality references and APA 7th referencing.
