[ send me this essay ]

Incontinence & Dependency Issues in Elder Care
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper that addresses issues involving incontinence and dependency associated with elder care. While it is natural that there is a decline in abilities as individuals go through life, many commonly held beliefs about aging are grossly inaccurate and perpetuate unnecessary suffering for elder citizens. These misconceptions concern physical capabilities, but also influence whether or not older people remain active and engaged in life or become overly dependent on others. Research shows that the dependency that elders develop is sometimes out of proportion to their actual physical capabilities. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Individual Health Promotion: Obesity
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper describing addressing a middle-aged woman’s obesity, including a theoretical base. She leads a busy life and has little time for daily cooking or daily exercise if it has to be added to her already-full schedule. The aim of the health promotion – aside from addressing Mrs. X’s obesity and health risk factors – is to approach it in such a way that it is not yet another chore imposing itself on Mrs. X’s or her family’s schedule. It must be time efficient in order to work in Mrs. X’s life and to have any chance of becoming a point of permanent change in habits. The promotion addresses diet, exercise and promoting healthy habits. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
