Old Person Trip
The people that will be able to participate will be those who have the ability to use a fishing rod. The pontoon boat that will be used will be wheelchair accessible for those who are inclined to be in one. As far as the psychomotor domain goes, the participants need to be in fair to good condition so that they are able to withstand the boat ride, both physically and mentally, and also to be able to reel in the fish. For the cognitive domain, the people will need to be aware in case they have a fish on the line. They must also be able to know boat safety rules that they are taught prior to boarding the boat, along with the ability to identify the type of fish that they capture.
There will be a variety of sponsors that will be involved in this program. The initial boat(s) will be supplied to the company by JK Associates. Later boats will be, at that time, donated by Skipper Bud's. The AARP's sponsorship will involve one of their volunteers helping out with the fishing trips. The Wisconsin DNR will be donating information as to rules, regulations, and any other background information that will be useful. Kraft and Oscar Meyer will be supplying some of the snacks and lunchmeats that will go into the afternoon lunch. There will be a partial donation of fishing poles and bait/lures that will be given by Gander Mountain of Brookfield. Any other supplies or materials will be privately donated.
The purpose of this activity is to get the elderly out of their living quarters and help them to relax and put them into a social setting to interact with others. Getting them out of their homes will enable the people to get some fresh air, mixed with a little bit of sunlight, and just the chance to get back near the water. Sitting on the boat will help the people relax and get their minds off of their same daily activities. Interacting with others that they are not acquainted will give them new things to talk about, maybe rekindling some good old memories.
There are a few modifications that might need to be put into program to simplify the activity. One modification that could possibly be made is to get all lightweight poles in the inventory.
In the beginning and sporadically throughout the film we hear tribal music playing, this allows the audience to adjust themselves to the mood of the film. It is here that we meet four main characters on a boat that seem to be coming back to the Sea Islands. The audience is able to overhear a conversation from two of the women in the boat, Yellow Mary and Viola talking about their past when they used to run along the banks (where the boat dropped them).
There will be 5 boats. You have to find the right one to go on. (it will say on the clue)
Writing in “Fact, Not Fiction: Questioning Our Assumptions About Crane’s ‘The Open Boat,’” Stefanie Eye Bates remarks, “By mentioning the men’s friendship, the atmosphere of congeniality and fraternity, the captain’s calm voice and the comfort the others took in it, Crane fully explains how he draws the conclusion that ‘although no one said it was so,’ the sense of unity was felt by all” (73). Since this bond of brotherhood is felt by all the men in the boat, but not discussed, it manifests in small ways as the men interact with each other. They are never irritated or upset with each other, no matter how tired or sore they are. Whenever one man is too tired to row, the next man takes over without complaining. When the correspondent thinks that he is the only person awake on the boat, and he sees and hears the shark in the water, the narrator says, “Nevertheless, it is true that he did not want to be alone with the thing. He wished one of his companions to awaken by chance and keep him company with it” (Crane 212). In reference to this scene, Shulman remarks that “the central theme of community [is] touchingly rendered here because the correspondent does not awaken his exhausted companions” (451). Nobody makes any statements about the bond that the men develop, but it is evident in small things like this, where the correspondent lets the other men sleep
When the boat was initially found by the girls the boys didn’t see it at first, after they find it they become closer friends and this newfound friendship takes the teenagers on an adventure. They not only find a boat and fix it but they also use this boat to guide them into a new territory with the opposite sex. This boat gives them the freedom to do that.
Antipsychotic drugs are used to control psychotic disorders. Individuals that have psychotic disorders such as, bipolar (manic depression) and schizophrenia use this medication frequently. Furthermore, antipsychotic drugs can help with severe anxiety and depression. Antipsychotic medication control hallucinations, delusions, insomnia, anxiety, and agitation in patients. There are many people with dementia whom are also prescribed antipsychotic drugs. These medications are also used to control and manage agitated dementia patients. Some antipsychotic medications that are given to people with dementia are risperidone, trazodone, and loxapein.
We were instructed to wait in the boat, which was fine by me. I sat back in our tub of a launch in one of the somewhat decrepit wicker chairs and soaked up a little sunshine, as I chatted with Hughie. I recall watching several islanders going down the dock with personalized leather mail pouches heading to the post office. I watched some folks enter the market near the dock and the pharmacy at the end of the block.
Since the start of time, humans have been catching fish. The sport has, in many ways, evolved hugely, and yet in many aspects has stayed exactly the same. To me fishing is unique and I find it can be anything from relaxing to a very intense experience.
While some anglers catch fish by simply sitting on the frozen water, others go onto the ice with heated cabins or other elaborate setups to make the activity smooth. The United States has designated public water bodies, including lakes and ponds, where people can carry out ice fishing.
The Keola Magazine article titled, “The Rights and Respects for Native Fishing” reports the lifestyle of Hawaiian Fisherman and their thoughts about having restrictions about fishing. The article
The National Elder Abuse Incidence Study (NEAIS) was conducted by the National Center on Elder Abuse at the American Public Human Services Association (formally known as the American Public Welfare Association) and the Maryland-based social science and survey research firm, Westat. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Administration on Aging (AoA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services jointly funded this research. The study asked the fundamental question: What is the incidence of domestic elder abuse and neglect in the United States today? In public health and social research, the term "incidence" means the number of new cases occurring over a specific time period. The NEAIS used a rigorous methodology to collect national incidence data on what has been a largely undocumented phenomenon, and it provides the basis to estimate the incidence of domestic elder abuse and neglect among those aged 60 and above in 1996.
Before doing research on this topic, I would have said that the United States treats the elderly with passion and love, but I now know that I was wrong. The elderly people have been treated just as badly, if not worse then, in Japan. How could this be? The elderly are so innocent, loving, and have nothing but care for most people. How could anyone harm such a loving soul? These questions are more than likely going through many minds as I am writing this paper. In the United States most of the abuse has came from nursing homes, but in Japan more than likely the abuse is coming from the offspring of the elderly. Even though both governments’ officials are trying to pass new laws to protect the elderly, the abuse continues. There are groups that are forming up to help support the elderly in the United States. The people of Japan are not doing as much as they should because the abuse happens behind closed doors and the family member will more than likely just deny it.
Yates K. M., & Creech Tart. (2012). Acute care patient falls: evaluation of a revised fall
Falls are not a part of getting old. Falls can cause severe injury and two -thirds death; five percent require hospitalization (Center for Disease Control, n.d.). Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, falls are treated every thirteen seconds in the emergency department, and every twenty minutes someone dies from a fall. One out three older adults fall annually, and only half tell their doctor. (Healthy people 2020, n.d.). The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states falls are a threat to health and decrease the ability to remain independent (Center for Disease Control, n.d.). Falls create a burden for the caregiver, incur costs of emergency room, acute, rehabilitation and long-term care. The CDC states that 2015 total
His beloved grandfather was a sailorman. In the text, we didn’t get to know him that well. It seems like he was gone before the text started. It is just Lloyd that keeps telling us about stories his grandfather told him and things they experienced together, for example when his grandfather left for his anchorage. In the text, it seems like his grandfather keeps old habits, traditions and cultures. Instead of using the “new” fishing gear for example pots or nets, he used a fishing line and a knife. He thought those methods were useful and a waste of time, because it catches everything from above, for example turtles, eels, and trash
The care of a patient is a team effort and within the forum of a visit a patient is utilizing many sources, many individuals, and much more technology than anyone realizes. Patients age 65 and older are a unique subset of patients that are cared for each day. One major condition that many elderly patients succumb to is dementia. Dementia is described as the adverse actions of aging, in layman’s terms, one will return to what they were first born as. Dementia will cause a person to lose the knowledge, skills, and functions to perform daily functional task. Once this change happens, caregivers some trained but most family members are not beginning their journey of learning to care for the elderly. The ability to have accurate, real-time information
