Please address functional assessment and medication review including potentially inappropriate medications for this age group, alternative and complementary therapies including nonpharmacologic strategies for fall prevention and pain management, strength gait and balance training, and patient education.

Prepare a reflective journal about your experience in the assessment and management recommendations for your patient. Reflective writing includes several different components: description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and future application. Reflective writers must weave their personal perspectives with evidence of deep, critical thought as they make connections between theory, practice, and learning.
