Personal Support Workers (PSWs) provide up to 80% of direct care to older adults living in long-term care or at home. PSWs help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and feeding. Their role has evolved with changes in the healthcare system focusing more on home and community care. There are approximately 100,000 PSWs in Ontario, over 90% are women and many are immigrants. Most PSWs work in long-term care facilities, home care settings, or hospitals. Their role and responsibilities are expanding due to an aging population needing more care, people being discharged from hospitals sooner, and fewer family members available to provide informal care.

Med Term Presentation #2
The nervous system coordinates and controls body functions by receiving sensory input, processing information, and ordering responses. It consists of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and processes sensory information before sending motor commands. The brain coordinates most activities and is divided into sections responsible for different functions. The spinal cord relays impulses between the brain and body. The PNS includes cranial and spinal nerves and has autonomic and somatic divisions.
Overview of nervous system
The document discusses the structure and organization of the nervous system. It describes the central nervous system as comprising the brain and spinal cord. The brain is divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. The spinal cord contains gray matter surrounded by white matter and extends from the brainstem down the back. The peripheral nervous system includes cranial nerves, spinal nerves and plexuses. The somatic nervous system innervates skeletal muscles and carries sensory information from the skin. The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

It also covers proper handling and care of hearing aids. For vision impairments, it recommends encouraging glasses use, cleaning glasses properly, and providing general communication guidelines like identifying oneself, describing locations, and offering accessible reading materials. The goal is to modify the environment and communication approaches to best meet individual residents' needs.
Chapter 14
The document discusses the structure and function of several parts of the human brain. It describes how the brain develops from embryonic brain vesicles and outlines the major divisions of the adult brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and diencephalon. It provides details on the anatomy and roles of specific structures within these divisions such as the cerebral cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus, medulla, pons, and midbrain. The document also covers topics like brain blood flow, cerebrospinal fluid circulation, and the protective meningeal coverings of the brain.
Chapter 16
The document discusses sensory, motor, and integrative systems. It describes how sensory impulses are integrated in the central nervous system and examples of complex integrative functions. Each unique type of sensation is called a sensory modality. The process of sensation begins with stimulation of a sensory receptor and transduction of the stimulus into nerve impulses which are then integrated. Sensory receptors can be classified based on their structure, location, and the type of stimulus detected. Pain perception serves an important protective function. Proprioception involves receptors that monitor muscle length and tension. The pathways for somatic sensory and motor signals in the spinal cord and brain are described.
Sensory receptors animal systems
Sensory receptors in the skin and surrounding hair follicles respond to pressure. The lateral line system in aquatic animals senses water movement. Sensory pathways involve sensory reception by receptors, transduction of stimuli into electrical signals, transmission of action potentials to the central nervous system, and perception in the brain. Sensory signals can be amplified during transduction and integrated from multiple receptors. Adaptation allows receptors to adjust to constant stimuli. Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical stimuli like touch and sound, while chemoreceptors detect chemicals involved in taste and smell. Electromagnetic receptors include photoreceptors for vision and magnetite receptors for navigation. Thermoreceptors sense temperature and nociceptors detect potentially damaging stimuli.

Finally, step 4 emphasizes developing an effective test-taking strategy including staying calm and using time wisely during the exam. The document aims to help examinees understand the PLE and develop a strategic approach to maximizing their chances of success.
Compilation of previous board examination questions
This document provides guidance for test preparation and test-taking strategies. It recommends the following:
1) Review materials 3 months in advance by reading books and notes individually and creating a schedule.
2) Visit the exam center beforehand and choose a good seating position. Relax the day before by sleeping early and avoiding stress.
3) During the exam, stay relaxed and focused. Read questions fully before answering and use logic to eliminate incorrect options. Leave blank questions if running short on time.
4) For multiple choice questions, identify keywords in the stem and associate answers with them. Eliminate irrelevant options using logic.
Spinal cord
The document provides an overview of the anatomy, internal structure, blood supply, and functional organization of the spinal cord. Key points include:
- The spinal cord extends from the foramen magnum to L1-L2 and is segmented into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions.
- It has a butterfly-shaped gray matter H-shape surrounded by white matter tracts that contain ascending and descending nerve fibers.
- The principal blood supply comes from the anterior and posterior spinal arteries along with segmental radicular arteries like the artery of Adamkiewicz.
- The spinal cord has a segmental organization corresponding to 31 pairs of spinal nerves that mediate motor and sensory functions.

- Ireland faces significant challenges in caring for its aging population as the number of those over 65 is projected to double by 2046, with the over 85 population increasing over 350%.
- There is an urgent need to develop a continuum of high quality care services including homecare, nursing homes, and other community supports to meet the needs of this aging population.
- A cohesive national strategy and long-term plan is required to adequately prepare for and address the implications of these demographic changes, however currently there seems to be a lack of planning and policy from the government on how to achieve this.

Virginia's Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) have developed innovative solutions to improve health outcomes and address the growing aging population. The AAAs offer a diverse set of both traditional and evidence-based programs delivered in-home. Their services range from meals and transportation to programs addressing chronic disease, falls prevention, and social determinants of health. By 2050, nearly 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65, with associated increases in chronic conditions and costs. The AAAs provide a unique statewide model for delivering high-quality, low-cost preventative care coordination to help seniors age in place.

Six principles for engaging people and communities
Slides presented at King's Fund on 1 November 2016. How to make real the vision in the Five Year Forward View of "a new relationship with patients and communities"?

Health System Transformation
The document discusses the need for health system transformation in Ontario. It notes that over 50% of adults and 20% of youth are overweight, contributing to increased rates of diabetes and costs. It also discusses how people are making avoidable emergency department visits and being readmitted to hospitals shortly after discharge because they are not receiving proper follow-up care. The aging population is increasing health costs substantially. The document outlines plans to shift more procedures out of hospitals and into community clinics to improve health outcomes and reduce costs. TSH will re-evaluate its programs and services as part of this transformation while continuing to engage community partners.
Mr Grant Brand: Lessons Learned in the First Nine Years of the Glasgow ARBD Team
The document summarizes lessons learned from the first nine years of the Glasgow Alcohol Related Brain Damage (ARBD) Team. It discusses how the team was set up, missed opportunities at the beginning, and what they have learned over time. Key points include broadening the referral criteria, conducting thorough multidisciplinary assessments, using legislation to help with harm reduction, providing rehabilitation services, and training other services on ARBD. It emphasizes the need for a public health approach, clear strategy, and person-centered flexible services for those with ARBD.
Age UK
This document summarizes Age UK Sutton's Home from Hospital service and its impact. The service provides support to older people transitioning from hospital to home through volunteers. It aims to reduce demand on the NHS and prevent readmissions. Over 200 volunteers provide support through services like Home from Hospital, Community Helpers, and Caring Neighbors. The service exceeded its targets of 140 and 120 referrals respectively and showed positive outcomes like sustained wellbeing improvements and low hospital readmissions. Key learnings included rapidly supporting discharge and increased patient wellbeing and resilience. The discussion focuses on renewing funding, greater health system integration, and reducing admissions among older people.
Empowering Recovery
The document describes Texas' Money Follows the Person Behavioral Health Pilot program. The program aims to transition adults with severe mental illness and/or substance abuse disorders from nursing facilities into the community by providing integrated services. The pilot began in 2008 and has helped over 280 individuals, with 71% maintaining independence after one year. Services provided through the pilot like cognitive adaptation training and substance abuse counseling have helped participants achieve increased independence, employment, and community involvement. The pilot demonstrates improved outcomes and lower costs compared to nursing facility care. Texas hopes to continue and expand these services.
