I agree that the physical assessment of older adults is likely to be different from that of a 35-year-old. For example, older adults are likely to have higher blood pressure due to the stiffening of arteries and large capillaries (Bickley, 2017). You also made an interesting observation that the reproductive system of older patients are likely to be affected by age. For example, the decline in the production of hormones could lead to several health problems such as reduced arousal of both men and women and increasing the frequency of urination. For women, menopause may make the vagina to be dry and less likely to be aroused because they feel that they are less physically attractive. On the other hand, the decrease in the production of testosterone may make it harder for men to achieve an erection. You also made a keen observation that medications and muscle atrophy reduce older adults’ ability to perform activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and toileting. The primary reason for this is that some medications may make the patient dizzy or sleepy, increasing their risk of falling (Bickley, 2017). Additionally, the reduction in the size and strength of bones may increase the risk of older adults suffering from bone fractures.
