This video is basically a summary about fall prevention and it's different aspects. The PT in the video, Shannon Brady, mentions some things that I have done parts of my research on, such as exercises to strengthen muscles, impact of medication on the patient, statistics on falling and its effects, and risk of falling. She also talks about types of questions a patient can ask their self in order to kind of self-assess how high their risk of falling is. That is one of the things that Zoezi Park does at the very beginning of the game. There is a questionnaire in order to help assess the player's risk of falling. Overall, I think this video is a good starter to fall prevention and why it is important in our community.

Blog 10: EQ
1. I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.
2.
a) This, technically, fulfills all of the requirements. However, I feel that it can be worded differently in order to better understand the question. I also think that it should be more specific in order to really find the best answer.
b) This leaves a good amount of room for debate of answers. It does allow a fair amount of research to be done. But I think that the format should be changed, because I did have to re-read it a couple of times in order to fully comprehend what they were asking.
c) This question is very broad and there can be so many different answers. It needs to be more specific. But it does allow room for argument, especially since I think it is more of a personal preference for what the style is. It does provide many things to research, too.
d) I think this is the best one so far. They are specific about what kind of pain and what kind of doctor, while still allowing tons of research to be done. It can also be a good argument.
3. What is the best way for a health care professional to reduce the risk of falling in the elderly over the age of 65?

Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection
1. What are you most proud of in your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
I was actually proud of myself for remembering where I wanted to go with the presentation. I almost always have some sort of power-point to guide me in case I loose my train of thought, but I didn't this time. Not having a power-point gave me more of a feel of how this is really going and what areas I need to improve on.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation and why?
I honestly think I deserve a P or P-. I enunciated, spoke loudly and clearly, and made eye contact with the whole room. I stayed on my top and used information listed from my sources and mentorship.
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?
I doubt that anyone used it, but the sheet I handed out helped keep me on track and I could refer back to it as I went along for a little bit of guidance.
4. What would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?
I definitely would have made some sort of visual aid. Obviously, not a power-point, but some sort of poster board. This could have helped me stay a little more focused and organized.
