Your responses and interactions should be informed by the scholarly literature and professional experiences. Blog A WHO (2015) define healthy ageing as being functional able, which is determined by intrinsic capacity and environment. Reflect on your practice and address the following question, “Are the older people in your practice healthy ageing? If not why not?” I can say yes they are healthy ageing because Working as a registered nurse at the nursing home, The older people in that facility are considered healthy ageing because they receive a good quality care, they have a very supportive family and friends that are actively engaging with them through activities such as bowling and quiz nights. This is known to improve their health and wellbeing by strengthening their sense of social relationships. The facility also encourages walking on a daily basis to build up their muscles and helps control any underlying conditions (myagedcare. Gov, 2016) Clinical observation and close monitoring of diet, regular reviews of the resident general health by the GP and regular medication reviews. This shows that the aged people are actively ageing and are functionally stable (who. int, 2013). The aim of this Blog is for you discuss this definition in relation to the group of older people that you are working with. You are required to support your response with references from within and external to the course
