Statement of the problem

Old age is associated with several mental illnesses, which culminate into other psychosocial issues. For example, dementia and other related conditions such as the Creutzfeudz Jacob’s disease – as caused by advanced senility – have become common in the modern world. Usually, these diseases affect old people, which become more and more problematic as the age advances. The role of caring for the old people has therefore become very vital, usually requiring increased care and special treatment to these people.

Parents are the most important members of the diabetes management team in pediatric patients and any impact on the quality of life of the parent ...

Introduction

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a virus that weakens the immune system in humans. This is accomplished as the virus attacks the cells that fight infection and diseases. As a virus, it is similar in nature to other viruses, such as the flu.

HIV does not heal and once an individual is infected, that individual will live the remainder of their life with this virus (aids.gov, n.d.).
The symptoms associated with HIV may ...

Introduction

Pain is one of the common problems that affect many old people worldwide (Tse, Leung & Ho, 2012). Despite the high number of old people who are affected by it, this condition is normally undertreated.

All across the care spectrum, fall and injuries remains a significant challenge as Ganz, et al., (2013, pp. 390-396) documents. In the United States for instance, 700,000 to 1,000,000 people are documented to fall in hospitals (Kalisch, Tschannen, & Lee, 2012). A patient fall in this regard refers to an unplanned floor descent with or without resultant patient injuries. For older persons in the USA above 65years, unintentional falls account for the commonest cause of nonfatal injuries (Ambrose, Paul & Hausdorff, 2013). Additionally, accidental falls are among the commonest reported hospital incidents which complicates approximately 2% of all ...
