HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT2
Introduction
Aging is a natural phenomenon and, commonly, older people are hard without any health
concerns. From the greying of hairs, growing of wrinkles to forgetting where the car has been
parked, old age experiences several co-morbidities. With the increasing age, the body cells start
to perform less well, which leads to the change in body functioning as well as the appearance.
Conditions like hyperthyroidism, hypertension, loss of vision and hearing, obesity, blood sugar,
arthritis, and many such conditions are common and the list is ever increasing in nature (Iqbal &
Amin, 2018).
Discussion
Possible Issues Affecting Mr. T’s Health and Safety
The probable issues that can impact Mr. T’s health and safety are as below –
Psychological Issue:
Mr. T is a widowed old person. He does not have that person in his life with whom he has
lived for 50 years. This increases the feeling of loneliness and depression. Depression in old age
can also lead to high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and bring suicidal tendencies
(Khandelwal & Bhatia, 2019). He can show behavioral issues.
His children do not necessarily consider him in their conversations. On one side he is
widowed and on the other side, he is not served properly by children and does not engage him in
conversations. This increases the chance of depression and hypertension.
