Blog 21: Exit Interview

1. What is the best way for a healthcare professional to reduce the risk of falling in the elderly?

  • The best way a healthcare professional can reduce the risk of falling in the elderly is by increasing a patient's physical activity.
  • The best way a healthcare professional can reduce the risk of falling in the elderly by increasing a patient's exercise and physical activity through the use of a video game.
  • The best way a healthcare professional can reduce the risk of falling in the elderly is by introducing multiple interventions into a patient's life.
2. Through completion all of my research and conducting my interviews, many of my sources provided these answers as the best way to reduce fall risk. I trust my interviewees because they are professionals and have the right education and experience to confidently answer this question.

3. When second semester rolled around the corner, I started to realize that I wasn't getting enough hours since I used 30 of them for my first independent component. To solve this problem, I went to two full day game testing days with Blue Marble at the YMCA and got 10-11 hours. This helped me reach my goal of 50 hours.

4. The most significant source I had was the interview that I had with my mentor, Nina Withrington. She explained a lot of so many different aspects of my project that I can really apply it to the whole project. The second most significant source was actually the last source that I looked up. It's a study but provides a lot of background information and why multifactorial interventions are the best answer to my EQ.
