Community Healthcare Advanced Quiz
An 80-year-old patient in long-term care, who is largely inactive due to mobility limitations, has recently reported chronic indigestion, difficulty swallowing, and infrequent bowel movements (last BM 3 days ago). Considering common age-related changes in the gastrointestinal system, explain how these specific symptoms are likely interconnected. Furthermore, detail at least three specific interventions or observations a Nursing Assistant (NA) should prioritize, directly correlating each action with the underlying physiological changes described, while remaining strictly within the NA's scope of practice.
