Assignment:

You are volunteering at a free health clinic. You overhear two of the clients, longtime friends, engaged in a heated discussion about a health promotion intervention clinic directed toward improving mobility in seniors. The physical activity clinic is held three times a week in the evening.

The elderly female client states that the clinic "is a good idea, but it doesn't help me. I can only go one time a week."

The elderly male client responds with, "you can ride with me and my son."

The female client responds, "it is inconvenient in the evening for my son. He works swing shift, and your son needs to be home with his family".

The elderly male client responds, "it benefits me by helping to manage my arthritis pain. That benefits everyone in my family."

The elderly female client responds as she walks away, "I don't have a big family like you do, and my son is 40 years old and needs his rest!"

Answer the following questions based on the given scenario:

· From the perspective of the elderly female client, identify her social support system.

· Explain her underlying or implied reason for lack of participation in the physical activity clinic.

· What communication techniques would you use in approaching the female client about participating in the clinic?

· Describe a method to help the elderly female client identify support systems available to help her achieve increased participation.

· Describe what lifespan stages are involved in the scenario and how they impact the male and female client.

· Discuss what actions you can take to resolve the issue.

· Explain intervention resources for the specific stage of the lifespan of these clients.
