What is the Berg Balance scale - answer-14-item scale designed to measure balance of the older adult
in a clinical setting.
How do you score the BB scale - answer-A five-point scale, ranging from 0-4. "0" indicates the lowest
level of function and "4" the highest level of function. Total Score = 56
41-56 = low risk
21-41 = moderate
0-20 = high risk
,What does a change in the BB scale indicate? - answer-A change of 4 points is needed to be 95%
confident that true change has occurred if a patient scores within 45-56 initially, 5 points if they score
within 35- 44, 7 points if they score within 25-34 and, finally, 5 points if their initial score is within 0-24 on
the Berg Balance Scale
What are the steps of assessment following a fall? - answer-head to toe assessment, pain assessment,
colour and state of skin, full neuro exam
What one is not one of the aspects of healthy aging?
A) access
B) quality
C) acceptability
D) choice
E) equity
F) value - answer-C) acceptability
what is the greatest factor increasing the odds of admission to residential care?
A) assessment in the hospital
B) cognitive impairment
C) requiring physical assistance
D) living alone
E) wandering - answer-A) assessment in the hospital
What is the evolutionary aging theory
A) neuroendocrine, autoimmunity, genetic clock, limited cell division
,
, B)
programmed death, antagonistic pleiotropy
C) general formulations, individual mechanisms, stress induced premature senescence
D) thermodynamics, reliability, rate of living - answer-B) programmed death, antagonistic pleiotropy
What is the programmed theory of aging?
A) neuroendocrine, autoimmunity, genetic clock, limited cell division
B) programmed death, antagonistic pleiotropy
C) general formulations, individual mechanisms, stress induced premature senescence
D) thermodynamics, reliability, rate of living - answer-A) neuroendocrine, autoimmunity, genetic clock,
limited cell division
What are the damage theories
A) neuroendocrine, autoimmunity, genetic clock, limited cell division
B) programmed death, antagonistic pleiotropy
C) general formulations, individual mechanisms, stress induced premature senescence
D) thermodynamics, reliability, rate of living - answer-C) general formulations, individual mechanisms,
stress induced premature senescence
What is the molecular biology theory of aging?
A) neuroendocrine, autoimmunity, genetic clock, limited cell division
B) programmed death, antagonistic pleiotropy
C) general formulations, individual mechanisms, stress induced premature senescence
D) thermodynamics, reliability, rate of living - answer-D) thermodynamics, reliability, rate of living
