Ch 21 Preparing
for Aging, Death,
and Dying
Coley Parker
Terms
Aging-Has been described as the patterns of life changes
that occur in members of all species as they grow older.
Gerontology- The study of individual and collective
aging processes.
Redefining aging
Biological age- Relative age of a person’s organs and body
system. Exercise/diet and non smoking are the most influential
factors on how body ages.
Psychological age-Refers to a persons adaptive capacities, such
as coping abilities and intelligence.
Social Age- refers to a persons habits and roles relative to
society's expectations.
Legal Age-Used as a factor in determining voting rights, driving
privileges, drinking rights etc..
Functional age-a persons status in terms of physical and
mental performance.
Successful Aging
People who Age successfully have the following
characteristics
They stay active/ Exercise daily
Maintain a normal weight range
They eat a healthy diet containing low levels of
saturated fats, with plenty of fruits and veggies and
whole grains
Participate in meaningful activies
They don’t smoke and they consume alcohol in
moderation
Physical and Mental changes
of aging
The skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity,
particularly in the outer surfaces.
Bones are continually changing because of the
accumulation and loss of minerals.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone
density and structural deterioration of bone tissue.
The Senses
With aging, the senses become less actue.
By age 30, the lens of the eye begins to harden, which
can cause problems by the early 40’s
By age 60, depth perception declines and farsightedness
often develops.
Cataracts- clouding of the lens
Glaucoma- Elevated pressure within the eyeball
Macular Degeneration-Breakdown of the macula, the
light-sensitive part of the retina responsible for sharp,
direct vision
Sexual Function
As men age, testosterone levels decline and changes in
sexual function are common. These physiological
changes can include:
A need for more stimulation to achieve and maintain
erection and orgasm
Shorter orgasms
Less forceful ejaculation and less semen ejaculated
Longer time needed to achieve another erection after
ejaculation
Alzheimer’s Disease
This is the most common type of dementia, and it affects about 5
million Americans.
Definition -progressive mental deterioration that can occur in
middle or old age, due to generalized degeneration of the brain. It
is the most common cause of premature senility.
The symptoms are mild at first but get worse over a number of
years. Your friend or relative might:
Be confused about where he is or what day or year it is
Have problems speaking or writing
Lose things and be unable to backtrack to find them
Show poor judgment
Have mood and personality changes
Death
Death- a permanent cessation of all vital functions.
Brain Death-irreversible cessation of all functions of the
entire brainstem, has gained increasing credence.
Dying- the process of decline in body functions that
results in the death of an organism.
Stages of Dying
1.) Denial ( Not me, there must be a mistake)
2.)Anger ( why me?!)
3.)Bargaining (if I’m allowed to live I promise….)
4.) Depression (it’s really going to happen, and I can’t
do anything about it)
5.) Acceptance (I’m ready)
Coping with Loss

experiences when a loved one dies.
Grief- Occurs in reaction to significant loss, including
one own impending death, the death of a loved one a
significant loss such as the end of a relationship of job.
Mourning-refers to culturally prescribed and accepted
time periods of behavior patterns for the expression of
grief
Worden’s model of grieving
tasks
1.) Accept the reality of the loss
2.) Work through the pain of grief
3.)Adjust to an environment in which the deceased is
missing
4.)Emotionally relocate the deceased and move on with
