In 2014, older Americans fell 29 million times, leading to 7 million injuries, according to a report published last week. About 2. 8 million cases were treated in emergency department, and approximately 800, 000 seniors went on to be hospitalized. More than 27, 000 falls led to death. And the problem is getting more and more serious.
" Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence, " said Dr. Bob Frieden. The falls are preventable, Frieden stressed. He said individuals, families and health care providers can take steps to resist the trend.
Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors who have experienced a fall alone at home don’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention efforts don’t begin and they’ re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.
" Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a very frightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid that they will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house, "said Wolf-Klein.
It’ s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’ re weaker than they really are, she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’ re often never the same, Wolf-Klein said. "You can develop chronic (慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of the population will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they’ re in a wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become
frailer
and lose independence, " she said.
From the passage we learn that older adult falls______.
选项
A、are decreasing
B、can’t be avoided
C、must be treated in hospitals
D、usually imply the end of independence
答案
D
解析
推理题。根据文章第二段第一句“‘Older adult falls are increasing and,sadly,often indicate the end of independence,’Said Dr.Bob Frieden.”可知,弗里登医生指出,老年人跌倒事件数量增加,跌倒往往意味着丧失自理能力,故答案为D。选项A与原文表述相反,故排除。文章第二段第二句“The falls are preventable,Frieden stressed.”提到,跌倒是可以避免的,选项B与原文信息不符,故排除。从第一段的数字可知,并非所有的跌倒事件都需要到医院接受治疗,选项C与原文信息不符,故排除。
