Provide specific actions that you believe could be taken to address this issue or concern and increase the safety, functional ability, and/or quality of life of older adults.

Academic Sources and Resources
If you have other supplementary materials, such as tables, figures, or screenshots, then you can present them in appendices that are not included in the page limit, but their contribution to the report should be integrated within the main text.
Academic sources include books, journal articles, and published reports with the aim of informing an audience. Please note that the use of Wikipedia is unacceptable in academic work, as are blogs and unauthorized websites. The reference materials cited should focus on the analysis of the issue and provide alternatives for the student to think about.
Your primary resource for locating academic sources is the Maryville University Library (Links to an external site.).
The Online Writing LabLinks to an external site. (Links to an external site.) is an easy-to-use resource for properly referencing sources, and avoiding plagiarism. It is expected that writing will reflect the status of a professional, i.e. complete sentences, appropriate punctuation, accurate spelling, well-formulated paragraphs, and absence of formatting problems. To ensure good work, it is best to begin writing assignments as soon as possible. Students will be penalized for grammatical and punctuation errors.
