Recognizing and Supporting Body Changes with Age
“Recognizing and Supporting Body Changes with Age” teaches caregivers to observe, understand, and report how the body evolves through the aging process. Learners explore visible and hidden changes across body systems—skin, sensory, musculoskeletal, digestive, and neurological—and practice applying this knowledge in real-world care situations. By improving observation, documentation, and communication, caregivers can better protect older adults from preventable complications and maintain their quality of life.
