I hav to make a page on awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people?

it is a sub for the topic:Pocket Guide on First-aid......i have completed every thing except the one mentioned .....so please help me...I hav to make a page on awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people?
First aid for the elderly... Hmmmmm





A lot of them lose their balance and trip and fall often. Their bones are more brittle, so they break more easily. Broken bones can lead to pneumonia in the elderly (not so much for young people), which can lead to death.





This is a major cause of death for older people. My 95yo great-grandmother died from this progression of medical problems that started with a simple episode of losing her balance while getting out of bed one morning.





So why not do a campaign to reduce 'trip and fall' hazards in the home? Things like don't have extension cords stretched out across the traffic areas, clean up any water spills in the kitchen immediately, don't have mats or rugs that can slip or have edges that are turned up, install hand rails into the bathtub area so the elderly can hold onto something as they climb into the tub, install rough strips onto the edge of stairs to make them slip proof, get toys and other items put away when the elderly are visiting.





I'm sure you can think of a few more good ones.





Good luck!I hav to make a page on awareness campaign strategy for either senior citizens or illiterate people?
Don't quite get what you're asking for, but for subject matter, I'd go with illiterate people since all you'd need is pictures to explain first aid.
