Title: The Importance of Physical Activity Exercise among Older People.

Author: Birgitta Langhammer, Astrid Bergland, and Elisabeth Rydwik.

Date: December 5, 2018.

The older person must adhere to the prescribed exercise program and
follow the overload principle of training, i.e., to exercise near the limit of the
maximum capacity to challenge the body systems sufficiently, to induce
improvements in physiological parameters and muscular strength. Exercise
training in older people has been associated with health benefits such as

Title: Dietary Patterns and Quality of Life in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

Author: Thara Govindaraju, Berhe W. Sahle, Tracy A. McCaffrey, John J. McNeil, and
Alice J. Owen

Nutrition is an important and readily modifiable risk factor for disease prevention,
and studies have consistently shown a relationship between diet and health
including in older adults. However, diet is a complex construct, and recent research
has focused upon dietary patterns as a means to examine the impact of diet on
health outcomes at population level.

3. Based on the webinar we attended, As a Nurse, enumerate and describe the 3 ways to
assist/support a person with dementia.

 State your message clearly and use simple word. Instead of shouting or high pitch tone
just speak slowly and in a reassuring tone in person with dementia,
 Be understanding and knowledgeable. Be understanding so they can even now feel
exceptional and cherished. You have to know their conduct and non-verbal
communication with the goal that you can give a correct intervention to your patient.
 Listen with your eyes, ears, and heart. Be patient in waiting for your adored one's
answer. Watch for non-verbal prompts and body language and respond appropriately.
Continuously endeavor to listen in for the importance and emotions that underlie the
words.

the impact on disturbed behavior. The older person may also experience
sensory deprivation as well as altered sensory states.

There is growing awareness that the subjective experience of people with
dementia is important for understanding behavior and improving quality of
life. Without knowledge on how perception, interpretation and the ability
for response control are altered, the behavior of people with dementia can
easily be misinterpreted.
