92437-Older Person Case Study-Nursing Care Of The Older Person-Nursing Essay Writing Assessment Answer

This essay is based on a discussion with an older person about their experiences of the ageing process. Following this discussion, your essay will outline the person’s needs (from their perspective) and then the key supports you could put in place to enhance their support and to enable healthy ageing. The steps involved are described below: 

Step1- Think about 1 older person who you could have a conversation with (for those who do not have anyone they know locally, a conversation over the phone is fine)

Step 2- Outline the purposes of this assignment to the older person to see if they would be happy to participate. Please refer to the information sheet provided on UTS Online to assist this step.

Step 3- Have a discussion (and take brief notes) with the older person based around a few key questions (you can adapt or expand on these):

1.    Could you tell me about yourself and any changes you have noticed as you have grown older?
2.    What are some of the best things about growing older for you?
3.    What are some of the hardest things you have found in relation to growing older?
4.    What is important for you now and into the future? Do you foresee any need for support in achieving these goals?
5.    Is there anything else you would like to tell me about your health and wellbeing?

Step 4- Immediately following this discussion, write a detailed summary of the conversation for your records. Please attach a one page summary of this as Appendix 1 to your essay (not included in the word count).
