Total Your Nutritional Score. If it’s 1
0 – 2 Good! Recheck nutritional score in 6 months.
3 – 5 Moderate nutritional risk.
6 or More High nutritional risk.
 If you got the score of 3 – 5, What will you do to improve their eating
habits and lifestyle?
 If you got the score of 6 or more, List down all the food that needed.
 Compute for the BMI of your grandparents
WEIGHT: 53 kilograms
HEIGHT: 5 ft
BMI: WEIGHT ( kilograms )
HEIGHT ( m2 )
Given : Weight = 53 kg
Height = 5ft
SOLUTION :
5ft 12 inch = 60 inch
60 inch 2.54 cm = 152. 4 cm
152.4 cm 100 = 1.524 m
BMI:
= 53 kg
( 1.524 m ) ( 1.524 m)
= 53 kg
2.32 m
= 22.81 / 22.82 Normal Weight

The physical environment is a key component of aging-friendly care models

that can facilitate or hindersafe and effective care ( Boltz, Capezuti, &
Shabbat, 2010 ;Huang, Larente, & Morais, 2011 ). In this chapter,we provide
a framework for an “aging-friendly physical environment of care,” describe its
essential components, share a brief summary of recent trends and
foundational evidence, and present key considerations for successful
application of the evidence into practice. Over 3,000 studies have been
identified on the role of the physical environment on healthcare outcomes.
The physical environment has been shown to be a factor in improving
experiences and quality of care. For patients with multiple comorbidities,
advanced illness, or life limiting illness, the built environment can be either a
source of suffering or a refuge. Palliative design is the conscious design of the
environment to meet the varied needs of the patients, manage symptoms, and
safeguard quality of life. It is intended to work alongside, and in integration
with, medicalcare to achieve desired care outcomes. Delirium provides an
example of a situation in which the environment is not the root cause of
thesymptom but can worsen or ease suffering.
AGING-FRIENDLY PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT OF CARE
Older adults may experience mobility loss, cognitive dependencies, and

comorbidities. They are therefore more vulnerable to falls, infections, and
injuries. If overlooked, the architecture of the care environment can threaten
their safety; erode their sense of confidence, dignity, and control; and impair
their quality of life ( Brereton et al., 2012 ).In this section, we describe a
proposed framework.
An aging-friendly physical environment of care should support the multiple
needs of the senior patient population and protect them from harm. This is
defined as a set of nonpharmacological interventions marked by the ability to
support the following outcomes for older adults: protecting their safety,
meeting their essential needs and managing their symptoms, and supporting
their sense of dignity, control and respect.
APPLICATION OF RESEARCH ON THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT INTO

PRACTICE FOR AGING-FRIENDLY CARE
Research on the role of the physical environment in providing better care for
older adults is promising, but its seamless application into care practice
requires an integrative and holistic approach. Th e best evidence must be
gathered and combined with the voices and experiences of medical and
design practitioners. This process requires collaboration among multiple
disciplines, as well as support and buy-in from leadership.Communication
between staff , patient representatives, designers, and engineers will not only
ensure successful design, application, and evaluation of the solutions but also
create a sense of ownership, mutual trust, and teamwork among the
personnel and leadership. healing environments for aging populations as
informed by existing translational processes for the physical environment,
including “Evidence-Based Design Steps” ( Center for Health Design, 2008b ,
p. 3) and Active Design Guide translational reports ( Johns Hopkins Center for
Injury Research and Policy, 2013 ).This is the reason for today’s worldwide
trend toward the formation of innovative, multidisciplinary partnerships among
practitioners in nursing, medicine, business, and engineering. Intended to
produce a disruptive transformation of healthcare into a user-friendly service
with accountability and affordability, these movements combine hospitality,
design, engineering, nursing, medicinal, and business practices.
An optimized physical environment of care is not without cost but provides

value in supporting clinical practices. Clarity on the value of investing time and
resources toward developing a geriatric-friendly environment is critical to
informing upper-level management strategic capital investment decisions. The
development of environments that successfully meet the needs of seniors and
staff requires commitment from the administration.
