aging is:
tz

Instructor The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be highlighted
Explanation: with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve of
la
most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second,
there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory
sh
Sp
systems such as temperature control and fluid and electrolyte balance.
ne
Third, there is impaired immunological function: infection risk is greater,
and autoimmune diseases are more prevalent. (Kennedy-Malone 3)

Instructor Two well-established tools used to evaluate function in older adults are the
Explanation: Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (Katz et al., 1963) and the Lawton
la
and Brody scale for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Lawton &
sh
Brody, 1969). It is important to be cautious about self-report of function
Sp
(rather than direct observation of function) and to ask, “Do you …?”
ne
instead of “Can you …?” in order to determine if patients actually perform
la
the activity. (Kennedy-Malone 40)
