Assignment 3 Nursing Science: Physical Activity and Prevention Assignment You are to write a three- to four-page paper on the science of nursing relating to physical activity and prevention. Focus on the elder aspect of the life-span as you research this subject. Describe physical activity in the context of prevention for elders. How can physical activity help prevent physical, mental, and emotional/spiritual problems among elders? For each of these areas, discuss at least two nursing actions (also called nursing interventions) that you find in the nursing or healthcare journals (see Resources, below): o physical, o mental, and o emotional and/or spiritual (two nursing actions for each of these will equal six nursing actions altogether). Use evidence-based journal articles to support your reasons for using these nursing actions. You must use and cite at least three scholarly sources of information (references). At least two of your sources must be from peer-reviewed nursing journals. The course textbook may be used as a third source. As noted on the next page, please follow the APA guidelines. Include introductory and closing paragraphs. Suggested headings in the body of the paper may be: o Prevention of Physical Problems Using Activity, o Prevention of Mental Problems Using Activity, and o Prevention of Emotional or Spiritual Problems Using Activity. This assignment is due on Monday, 25 November, 2013 at the beginning of class. A hard copy (paper copy) must be turned in to the instructors at that time. The faculty strongly encourage learner Houses to work collaboratively on this assignment. Stronger writers will sharpen their own skills and see improvements they can make in their assignment. Less-strong writers will learn editing and language skills to help them succeed. Resources You are encouraged to find your own resources to use in developing ideas and writing your essay. This is the best way to make your essay unique and interesting to read. We have included some resources: Re-read Benefits of Exercise in your textbook (pages 652-654) to refresh your understanding of the pathophysiology of the benefit of exercise in most body systems. This is one form of activity. Research the peer-reviewed, evidence-based healthcare journal articles through MCTCs excellent library on-line databases (see link below): http://erm.mnpals.net/CRDB/MCT/browse/facets/content_type/85/resource_type/60 o You can access this from home using the number on the back of your ID card and your last name. o CINAHL Plus with full text is an excellent database for peer-reviewed healthcare journal articles. When elderly plus physical activity was entered in the search box, 277 articles appeared. Some are full text. Some are not but if the article is of interest to you, then click on find full text and then click on Interlibrary Loan Request. Often the article will be emailed to your school email or at least you will be notified that it is available for you on-line. This can take several days, so please do your search right away and immediately request any articles that sound interesting to you. o Alternative Health Watch is also a database that focuses on complementary therapies so may have some interesting articles.
