HCS 433 Wk 1 – Analysis–Perspectives of Aging

There are many stereotypes about the elderly, and we see older adults portrayed on television, in movies, and in advertisements. We read about older adults in books, hear about them in jokes, and see how they are depicted in birthday cards. Much of what we know, or think we may know, comes from these sources, and they may not be entirely accurate.

Research three types of media, either electronic or print, that depict an older adult. You may look at television, movies, greeting cards, or newspapers as a few examples. Look for stereotypes in the media and how the older adult is portrayed.

Write a 700- to 1,400-word reflection on your findings.

Include an explanation of ageism and how misconceptions and misinformation play a role in it.

Use outside scholarly references to back up your findings.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. PLEASE visit the Writing Center if you are unsure of APA guidelines.

HCS 433 Wk 2 Team – Health Promotion Project Outline

Research leading chronic diseases, as well as the prevalence of high-risk behaviors seen in the current older adult population.

HCS 433 Wk 3 Individual: Functionality Paper

With aging comes physiological, functional, and sensory changes. At times, this change can manifest as a loss. Often, a loss of function may begin a so-called downward spiral in the life of an elderly person, affecting his or her independence and quality of life.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word research paper that addresses the above statement. Include examples of how the specific loss of function might affect one or more activities of daily living.

Use a minimum of 3 scholarly references to support your response.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. PLEASE visit the Writing Center if you need assistance with APA.

HCS 433 Wk 4 Individual – Services Presentation

There are many services available for older adults related to psychosocial, cognitive, and emotional issues.

Identify a specific facility of your choice (based on where you would like to work in the health care field) and then identify the different mental health services available. Make sure you select a specific facility. What services does the facility offer to address the following areas:

• Psychosocial
• Cognitive
• Emotional

Describe what you would recommend to fill the gap in service if the facility does not have a program that relates to one of the areas above.

Prepare an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation outlining your findings. Your cover page, Reference Page, and/or slides without speaker notes do not count towards your minimum number of slides.

Include detailed speaker notes of minimum 100 words per slide. This should be what you would say during the presentation.

Create a one page handout to accompany your presentation – this is what you would give to your participants that attended your presentation – information drawn from your presentation about the mental health services provided and importance, an education piece for them to take away.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. PLEASE visit the Writing Center for assistance if needed.

Use a minimum of 3 scholarly references to support your mental health services and their importance within the community.
