3 - 4 pages in length, double spaced, 12 pt Arial or New Times Roman font, 1 inch margins (this does NOT include the title page, appendix, nor reference page) Here is the questionnaire developed and the answers given, do the assignment using this data:
Do you believe that memory impairment is an inevitable part of aging? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I think this is a fact. As people age, their brain undergoes changes that can affect memory, such as a decrease in brain volume and changes in neurotransmitter levels. However, there are steps older adults can take to help maintain their memory, such as staying mentally active and getting regular exercise.
Person 2: I believe this is a myth. While it’s true that memory impairment is more common in older adults, it’s not inevitable. Some older adults maintain their memory well into old age, and certain factors like genetics and lifestyle choices can impact the likelihood of memory impairment.

Is it true that disabilities become more common as people age? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I believe this is a fact. As people age, their body undergoes changes that can make them more susceptible to disabilities, such as arthritis and vision or hearing loss. However, not all older adults will experience disabilities, and there are ways to manage and cope with disabilities that do arise.
Person 2: I disagree, I think this is a myth. While some disabilities may be more common in older adults, there are many older adults who maintain their physical abilities throughout their lives. Additionally, healthy lifestyle choices like regular exercise and a balanced diet can help prevent or delay the onset of some disabilities.

Do you think that nursing homes are the only option for older adults who can no longer live independently? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I think this is a myth. There are many other options available for older adults who can no longer live independently, such as assisted living facilities and continuing care retirement communities. These options can provide older adults with varying levels of care and support, depending on their needs.
Person 2: I agree, this is a myth. Although nursing homes are a common option for older adults who require 24-hour medical care, there are alternative options that can allow older adults to remain in their homes, such as in-home care services, medical alert systems, and community support services.

Is it common for older adults to lose interest in sex? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I think this is a fact. As people age, their hormone levels change, which can affect their libido and sexual function. Additionally, older adults may experience physical or psychological issues that can impact their sexual desire or ability. However, there are ways to manage and address these issues to help older adults maintain a healthy sex life.
Person 2: I disagree, I think this is a myth. While some older adults may experience changes in sexual desire or function, many older adults maintain a healthy sex life well into old age. Factors like overall health status, relationship satisfaction, and mental health can impact sexual desire and function in older adults.

Can changes in sleep patterns be a normal part of aging? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I think this is a fact. As people age, their sleep patterns may change due to factors such as changes in circadian rhythms, medication use, or underlying medical conditions. However, older adults can take steps to improve their sleep, such as establishing a regular sleep routine and creating a comfortable sleep environment.
Person 2: I agree, this is a fact. Aging can lead to changes in sleep patterns and difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting restorative sleep. However, maintaining good sleep hygiene practices, like avoiding screens before bedtime, can help mitigate these issues.

Should older adults stop driving altogether because of their age? (Myth/Fact)
Person 1: I believe this is a myth. While older adults may experience some age-related changes that can impact their ability to drive safely, not all older adults experience these changes to the same degree. In fact, many older adults are safe drivers who continue to drive well into their later years. It’s important for older adults to regularly assess their driving abilities and make adjustments if needed, such as limiting driving at night or during inclement weather.
Person 2: I disagree, I think this is a fact. As people age, their vision, hearing, reaction time, and cognitive abilities can decline, which can impact their ability to drive safely. It’s important for older adults to consider their driving abilities and be willing to make adjustments or seek alternative transportation if they are no longer able to drive safely. This can help prevent accidents and keep older adults and other drivers on the road safe.
