Risk Factors for Alcoholism & Drug Addiction
The document discusses several risk factors for alcoholism and drug addiction. Some key risk factors include starting alcohol or drug use during adolescence, having a family history of substance abuse or experiencing abuse as a child, and having certain psychiatric or behavioral disorders. Adolescents who begin drinking or using drugs are much more likely to develop an addiction compared to those who begin later. Those with a family history of substance abuse or a personal history of abuse or neglect are also at higher risk. Certain psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and ADHD can increase one's risk as well. Race and gender can also influence risk levels, though biological and cultural factors affecting risk among groups are not fully understood.
Slide Show: Risk Factors for Alcoholism & Drug Addiction
Drug and alcohol addiction develops over time, but it often comes with copious warning signs before casual use grows into full-blown addiction. Even before a person uses, there are many signs that could indicate a person is more likely to fall into abusive patterns of drug use. While risk factors don’t necessarily mean that addiction is inevitable, it’s important for individuals to be aware of their risk level so their behavior will be more informed if they choose to engage in drug use. Watch our slide show for information and statistics about drug and alcohol abuse risk factors.

elderly.pptx
The document discusses problems faced by the elderly population. It categorizes the elderly into four groups: young-old (65-75), old (75-85), old-old (85-100), and elite old (over 100). Common problems include retirement, economic issues, loss of independence, and health problems. Elderly abuse refers to harm inflicted on those over 65 and can occur at the societal (macro), community (mezzo), or individual (micro) level. Abuse is often linked to dependency, stress, and social/familial changes. Nursing interventions aim to strengthen family support, promote awareness of elder rights, and ensure access to resources and care.
Health Profile for Elderly
The health status of elders has improved over time, with longer lifespans and fewer disabilities. However, age remains the greatest risk factor for illness and death. The top five causes of death for elders are heart disease, cancer, stroke, chronic respiratory disease, and pneumonia/influenza, which together account for almost 70% of deaths. While mortality rates have declined for heart disease and stroke, chronic conditions and impairments are highly prevalent and reduce quality of life for many elders. Health behaviors also influence health in later life, though abuse and neglect of elders have been increasing issues.
