- Objectives: 1. Analyze nature of chronic illness.
2. Explore how functional ability impacts the disease processes among the geriatric population.
3. Explain the normal and abnormal physiological changes that occur as part of the aging process in all body systems.
4. Analyze the general pathologic mechanisms producing signs and symptoms of specific disease processes commonly encountered among the older adult.
5. Explore unique risk factors among the elderly and approaches for disease prevention.
