TASK
Post your initial response to the topic below.
Functional Wellness
Identify two strategies you can implement to provide comfort to maintain function with an ethnically diverse older adult with a chronic disease?
These strategies can be nutrition, ADLs, exercise, etc.

Albeit living with chronic illness is a reality for most of more established adults in the United States, there are huge differences in chronic illness predominance across racial and ethnic gatherings (Gallant, Spitze, & Grove, 2010). Moreover, racial and ethnic minorities experience more noteworthy intricacies and higher passing rates from most chronic illnesses (Gallant, Spitze, & Grove, 2010). To lessen these variations in chronic illness results, we have to more readily see how individuals from these gatherings live with and oversee chronic illnesses, so as to structure successful mediation techniques that will improve chronic illness results. Adherence to chronic illness self-care regimens and practices is a long way from ideal. Thus, an intensive comprehension of the variables that impact chronic illness self-care has significant ramifications for more seasoned adults’ prosperity. Little consideration has been paid to racial/ethnic minority populations in the chronic illness self-care writing, neither particularly among more seasoned adults nor to racial variety in self-care practices (Gallant, Spitze, & Grove, 2010).
Multimorbidity, characterized as at least two co-happening chronic diseases, is basic in mature age, exceptionally impairing, and expensive (Quiñones, et.al, 2019). A developing collection of work verifies the intensifying impacts of multimorbidity on health results past the danger inferable from singular diseases and distinguishes explicit racial and ethnic gatherings that are at more serious danger of helpless results. Be that as it may, hardly any examinations have reported the beginning and movement of multimorbidity for various population subgroups after some time. The U.S. Branch of Health and Human Services wrote about outstanding holes in clinical and research practice and featuring the need to distinguish and comprehend aberrations identified with race and ethnicity (Quiñones, et.al, 2019).
Though the most recent 50 years has brought about significant life span gains for more seasoned adults in the U.S. these upgrades have not been all inclusive. Eased back and in any event, declining patterns for the weakest more established adults are clear, an unfortunate and particular pattern that remains rather than other high-pay nations (Quiñones, et.al, 2019). For sure, more seasoned in danger adults among them ladies, underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities, and adults with low instructive fulfillment or low financial status are living for expanded times of their lives in more wiped out and more debilitated states and are at most serious danger for untimely bleakness and mortality. Regardless of some proof that high chronic disease trouble lopsidedly impacts racial and ethnic minorities, it is muddled how chronic diseases amass differentially in mid-and late-life for particular population gatherings.

To serve the needs of a diverse population, it is imperative that the healthcare system take measures to improve cultural competence, as well as racial and ethnic diversity (Nair & Adetayo, 2019). Implementing two strategies to help an ethnically diverse older adult maintain function can be challenging which is why it would be important to perform a thorough assessment to determine their needs, wants, and musts. Asking and becoming aware of this could make things easier and allow for better outcomes. Two things that come to mind with me are the different kinds of nutrition within different cultures, that are an essential part of some populations and adding this into their daily routine can make them feel more at home and comfortable improving overall well being. Determining their physical mobility status and ability to perform ADL’s is essential to determine what they are able and unable to do and what kind of assistance they may need. Chronic disabilities can alter functioning and mobility, however, interventions may vary across the board depending on what the patient wants or needs. Determining their support systems can make a difference, but adding an exercise regimen and doing therapy can help one become stronger which could allow them to meet their needs more efficiently.
