The U.S. population is aging, which brings unique nutritional needs and concerns for older adults. Using the knowledge you have gained this semester, you will complete this assignment as a final assessment of your understanding of the foundations of nutrition and how they apply to a specific demographic – our aging population.

Instructions

Assume you work at a senior center and have been asked to develop a Tip Sheet for Seniors about nutrition. Many of these seniors live at home, prepare their own meals, and are on limited incomes. The senior center is a congregate meal site. This tip sheet will be distributed to the seniors themselves as well as their family members and other people in the community that may assist the seniors.

When writing your tip sheet, please address:

• hints for assessing and improving nutrient density of meals
• hints for saving money when grocery shopping or eating at restaurants
• hints for making meals more enjoyable
• cultural, social, and psychological factors that may influence an older adult’s ability to obtain adequate nutrition
• potential problems associated with nutrition for this population
• health problems that could result from high or low nutrient intakes
• how the seniors or their family members can recognize potential nutrition related problems quickly, and what can be done. Be sure to do this tactfully and professionally.

Things to Consider

Be sure to think about presentation as well as the information you will include. Present the information in a way that seniors will both read and understand. Be creative!

Thoroughly address each instruction given above. Your tip sheet should be a minimum of 2 pages in length.

Draw upon the course materials for this assignment.

Include your name on your submitted assignment and BE SURE to cite all sources quoted or used in any way (even if it is just our textbook). Always give credit where credit is due.

Background: I am currently enrolled in the Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program, I am a Registered Nurse, and I work in a Psychiatric Hospital.

For this discussion post, I would like you to observe someone or a group of people in a social environment. How are they behaving? Does their behavior change when they know you are observing? 

Good example: go to the grocery store and just observe people. In the beginning of Corona, people were hoarding resources. Why do you think they were? Do you wonder if their behaviors would change, if they knew they were being observed or told to change?

Please include your the observation specifics about the experiment you chose. Did the people know you were watching them

Memory

Learning is acquiring knowledge and skills that can be transferred to situations in the non-academic world. It is about applying the concepts learned. Through the study of psychology information has been gathered about information processing and improving learning and memory.

For this assignment you will do some research and create a Power Point presentation meeting the following criteria:

1. Your presentation will have a Title Slide and a reference slide. These do not count in the total required. (total-2 slides)
2. You will include 1 slide that explains the information processing model. You will create 1 slide that explains how that model has evolved over time. (total-2 slides)
3. Discuss how the two-track mind helps individuals to encode, retain and recall information. (1-2 slides)
4. How does the brain retain information using implicit and explicit memory systems? Discuss how emotions and changes at the synapse level impact memory processing (1-2 slides)
5. Discuss techniques to improve memory and study habits. Provide at least five suggestions. (1-2 slides)

Your full Power Point will consist of 7-10 slides, with a minimum of 2 resources (1 article, course textbook). Each side will have images directly related to the content. Each slide will include notes in the Speaker Notes that explain the slide as if you were teaching it someone else.

Assignment Expectations

Length: 15 slides including both images and texts. Notes for each slide that provide a full description of the slide.

Structure: Because a good presentation has few words on the slides include a script in the notes section of the Power Point for each slide with the verbiage you would use as if you were teaching the information. The script/notes should be a minimum of 30-50 words that clearly express the important points of each slide. These may be in the Speaker Notes section of the slides or submitted separately in a Word document.

References: A minimum of two (2) scholarly reference, including the textbook. APA should be used for in-text citations and references.

Reply to this discussion post (site sources if applicable)

In leading a professional presentation I have both strengths and weaknesses that are evident. One of my strengths in completing a presentation professionally is creating the content of the presentation. I do well with putting together information in an attractive format such as a video or power point presentation. This helps in sharing the content of the presentation and engaging the audience. A weakness I have related to professional presentations is the nerves surrounding public speaking. This has been an issue I have always faced with presentations as I get nervous speaking in front of groups of people. This causes me to stumble over words or limit eye contact with the audience. To improve on this weakness one tip is to prepare and practice before giving the presentation (North, 2020). By practicing the presentation the content becomes more familiar and reduces anxiety during the presentation. This is important to improve on because I want the audience to be focused on the content and feel confident in the information which requires me to present it confidently.
