Q:

Option 4: Older Adults

 

Your goal is to educate older adults about a cancer that affects their age group. Although focused, this group may contain a wide range of individuals who vary in age, reading level, and socioeconomic status. Be mindful of unique characteristics associated with the affected population. Be creative in your layout while maintaining a professional appearance.

 

  • Resources: American Cancer Society website (http://www.cancer.org) and the National Cancer Institute website (http://www.cancer.gov)
  • Choose one type of cancer that affects older adults. Share information about this cancer with older adults and their families.
  • Create a flyer, brochure, or report to present the information in 350 to 500 words.
  • Organize the information into five sections:

 

  • Causes and risk factors, including environmental risks
  • Prevention and detection
  • How the cancer affects the body
  • Treatment options
  • Name and contact information of at least one support group

 

  • Include at least one image (picture or diagram) that supports any of the details you present in the patient information flyer, brochure, or report.
  • Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
