KU Physiology and Aging Patient Exercise Regimen Diet & Nutrition Discussion
Question Description
Post at least three times to this discussion forum, following the guidelines below. Your posts should include responses to any questions asked, as well as replies to classmates.
1. In your first post, consider a geriatric patient you have treated in the past and post a description of the patient (no names). Assume the PT has provided a Plan of Care that states exercise 3-5 times per week.
Write a complete description of the patient including his/her age and functional capacity/category.
Write an exercise program (type of aerobic, intensity, duration, strengthening, and ROM). State whether you would advocate for the patient to be referred to a dietician/nutritionist. If no, why not? If yes, why do you believe dietary suggestions would be warranted? Explain your approach using exercise physiology principles.
2. Review 2 other student discussion posts and tactfully communicate your evaluation of their approaches.
3. Cite/reference your sources.
