Describe major milestones of physical, psychological, and social development of late adulthood. Explain how the elderly person handled the social role transitions and life events of late adulthood. Describe the risk and protective factors of late adulthood. Describe the impact of culture, race, religion, and gender on the elderly person. Access and read the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work. Explain how the Christian worldview affects the social role transitions and life events of late adulthood. Describe the impact of sexual identity and different or changing family structures (divorce, dating, empty nest syndrome) on the elderly person. Refer to Social Work Disposition #7: Standard: Social Workers’ Ethical Responsibilities to Clients in your essay and how this is an important aspect to consider when completing a biopsychosocial assessment.
