Step 1:
Review the assigned topics which are listed by student number. For example, if your
student number is 2 you will discuss the functional health domain and then respond to a
classmate who has posted on the psychological health domain.
Your student number: Your assessment domain Your peer response domain
1 and 5 Physical health Socioenvironmental health
& quality of life measures
2 and 6 Functional health Psychological health
3 and 7 Psychological health Functional health
4 and 8 Socioenvironmental health & Physical health
quality of life measures
Step 2:
For your assigned assessment domain:
1. Provide a brief 3-5 sentence summary of the components of the domain
assessment*
2. Choose a screening tool which is appropriate for your domain. Explain the
screening tool purpose, components and scoring technique*
3. Provide 2 references in APA format beneath the table which support your work.
You may use the textbook. The second reference must be a scholarly source.
*All responses must be your work, in your own words.
Your table should look like the following:
Comprehensive Geriatric
Assessment
Domain Dimensions of assessment Screening tool related to the
domain(s)
References:
These fall risk assessment tools are important in preventing falls
that can cause injury or death in the elderly population.
Step 3:
Paste table inside the discussion board post. Do not attach as a document.
Step 4:
Respond to a peer’s post. Your assigned response to a peer requirement is listed
within the assignment table.

, Peer response will include:
Compares peer domain to student’s assigned assessment domain, noting
similarities and differences*
Peer review: discuss how your assigned peer’s screening tool can be applicable
in your own future practice*
*All responses must be your work, in your own words.
Functional Health is a category that is a health assessment that helps providers determine the
differences between functional expected aging processes. The goal of care for the aging
population is to enhance function and to prevent, avoid or reduce functional decline
(Kennedy- Malone, Martin-Plank, & Duffy, 2019) . The criteria of function include
basic and instrumental activities of daily living which can encompass functional needs like
driving, feeding oneself, laundry, bathing, dressing, and toileting. The Hendrich II Falls Risk
Model is a tool that was created in 2003 which is used in the hospital setting to evaluate the fall
risk of elderly patients. The risk assessment is scored on items which include confusion,
disorientation or impulsivity; depression; dizziness/vertigo; male; antiepileptic drugs, or
benzodiazepines. If the patients scores is greater than or equal to five then the patient is
considered to be at high risk of falls (Han et al., 2017). These fall risk
assessment tools are important in preventing falls that can cause
injury or death in the elderly population.
