In the near future, a huge number of populations of United States will require assistance for ADL’s. “In 2050, the population aged 65 and over is projected to be 83.7 million, almost double its estimated population of 43.1 million in 2012” (Ortman & Velkoff, 2014, p. 1). Taking care of these elderly will be our biggest nursing upcoming challenge. In this Mrs. Jones scenario, Nurse can assist by finding the family’s support system, their strength and weakness, and other resource to reach out in case of crisis. Just by listening to the situation Susie is going through, is a huge stress relief. Nurse can include Susie’s husband in the plan of care. Nurse can assess if Susie’s children are old enough to participate in doing house hold activities
