Introduction

The introduction should act as a guide to the reader and help signpost them through your essay. This section should outline precisely the areas you will be talking about. For example, if you simply talk about nursing or ageing theories, this is not sufficient, you need to identify and describe how this theory relates to the care you provide and or the assessment of the people you are nursing.

This section should be no more than 200 words.

Everyone will eventually be impacted by the natural process of ageing whereas life expectancy is rising globally. Most individuals nowadays aim to live into their sixties and beyond (World Health Organization(WHO), 2022). The WHO reported in 2022 that the number of elderly people in every nation is rising. According to Stefanacci (2022), ageing is a slow, ongoing cycle of natural ageing that starts in early adulthood. Many body processes start to gradually deteriorate in the early middle years of life (Stefanacci, 2022).
