In this course, you have been asked to examine, from a holistic, caring perspective, the complex challenges and unique adaptations that face aging adults. You have studied ways to apply knowledge and science from nursing, the humanities, and other disciplines to promote optimal quality of life in aging and to plan safe, compassionate care for this population as they deal with expected changes, health alterations, chronic illness, and the end of life.
The purpose of this ePortfolio assignment is to reflect on two insights you will take-away from this course and how each can influence your practice going forward. Your post should be at least three, thorough paragraphs in length but no more than a full page (double spaced). If you choose to include client experiences, remember to adhere to HIPAA guidelines. No references are required but if you do cite others’ work, you must include the reference.
This assignment is worth 5% of your course grade and will be evaluated based on completeness, richness of insights and clarity of expression. Your reflection should be posted in your portfolio by April 29. Share the link with me via email to verify completion. Create a new Page in your ePortfolio titled Adult Health IV Reflections on the Older Adult.
