Health and Healing II- Older adult test 1 Questions With
Complete Solutions
Age related changes Correct Answers -mobility and agility
(affected by strength of the muscles, flexibility, postural
stability, vibratory sensation, cognition and perceived stability)
-muscles and joints (back and legs, and strength and flexibility
of muscles and endurance decrease)
-movement and ROM (is limited and less fluid and the joints
change as the regeneration of tissue slows and muscle wasting
occurs)
-normal wear and tear reduces the smooth cartilage of the joints
-proactive and proper management of persistent illnesses and
maintenance of a healthy lifestyle can forestall the onset of
mobility limitations for older adults
Ageism Correct Answers prejudice or discrimination on the
basis of a person's age
Agility Correct Answers -Refers to the body's ability to change
positions efficiently
Aphasia Correct Answers -occurs after a stroke
-affects a person's ability to communicate

gesturing
Articulation Correct Answers -Inability to articulate words or
meaning= mechanical difficulties such as dysarthria (speech),
respiratory disease, destruction of the larynx, or stroke with
neuromuscular deficits
,Assessment for fecal impaction Correct Answers •History: a
complete history and investigation into diet, stool consistency
