• Incorporate professional values, attitudes, and expectations regarding ageism when caring for the older adult.

Your supervisor provided some valuable feedback in response to your outline! They are excited to see the PowerPoint slideshow you are creating for your topic’s in-service training. Having developed a number of presentations for in-services, your supervisor offered the following advice:

“When developing a slideshow, it’s important to be mindful of how you layout your content. For an in-service presentation, the slides should present key points, be arranged logically, without extraneous information contributing to a cluttered look. The audience should get a lot of the content from listening to what you say, not just from reading the slides. Using the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint is a great way to include relevant details that you want to provide without overloading the slides.”

Your supervisor wants you to work from your outline and prepare a visually appealing PowerPoint slideshow for the in-service presentation. They said it should:

1. Have a title slide.
2. Contain 6-10 content slides pertaining to the important content areas for your presentation topic.
3. Use the Speaker Notes feature in PowerPoint to reduce the amount of text that appears on the slides. (The Speaker Notes will contain the text that will guide what you say while presenting the slides.)
4. Be written using proper spelling/grammar.
5. Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide.

1. Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it.
2. Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a person’s body. 
3. Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response.
   1. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person’s chance of contracting the disease?
   2. Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease?
   3. How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease?

Chapter 8 – Assessment and Documentation for Optimal Care.

Questions: 

The gerontological nurse is responsible to conduct a complete “head-to-toe” physical assessment. There are several considerations of common changes in late life during physical assessment discussed in your textbook. 

1.Mention at least 3 common changes in late life that the gerontological nurse needs to have in consideration during a physical assessment.

2. Explain each one of them.

Guidelines: The answer should be based on the knowledge obtained from reading the book, no just your opinion. 

Grading Criteria: Student mentioned 3 common changes in late life that the gerontological nurse needs to have in consideration during a physical assessment (30%). Student explained each one of them (70%).

Consider the following patient scenario:

A mother comes in with 9-month-old girl. The infant is 68.5cm in length (25th percentile per CDC growth chart), weighs 6.75kg (5th percentile per CDC growth chart), and has a head circumference of 43cm (25th percentile per CDC growth chart). 

Describe the developmental markers a nurse should assess for a 9-month-old female infant. Discuss the recommendations you would give the mother. Explain why these recommendations are based on evidence-based practice.
