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.
According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
选项
A、Fall is a very terrible thing that you keep quiet about.
B、After a fall elderly people will not develop chronic problems.
C、To prevent falls elderly people should move to a nursing home.
D、Elderly patients tend to tell their families about their falls.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据文章第四段“‘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…’”可知,老年人往往将跌倒看成件可怕的事情,担心跌倒后自己的生活状态改变,因此选择隐瞒家人,故答案为A。选项B与原文表述相反,故排除。文章第四段最后一句虽然提到了养老院,但养老院是老年人不愿意去的地方,因此选项C与原文信息不符,故排除。文章第四段第一句已经明确说了老人不愿意将自己跌倒的事儿告诉家人,选项D与原文表述相反,故排除。
