Week 6: Life Span Nursing Considerations
Assignment: Describe what life span considerations you might use in applying the nursing process to infants, school-age children, younger adults, and older adults in relation to immunizations and wellness.
As you respond to this week’s discussion question, how would you tailor health promotion activities across the lifespan?
Consider that you have been asked to teach a group of senior high school students about nutrition. What content would you include in your program? What teaching strategies would you use? What effect would environmental and social influences have on your plan? What do you need to know about the group in order to plan your program?
Please consider how you would modify your educational program if you were teaching a different age group. Please select two age groups and compare your approaches to each.
During Unit 6, you will be working on the following unit outcomes:
Apply life span considerations as a framework for assessing and promoting health (CO 3 and 7)
Explore relevant health promotion needs and common health risk factors of individuals across the life span (CO 2, 3, and 7)
