Considering that old people, when hospitalized, presented an acute health alteration, the low functional reserve makes it difficult for their recovering and that the care about those people must be continuous, in the present study functional alterations were identified in a group of 50 old women interned in a Medical Clinic of a General Hospital, during the hospitalization and at the hospital discharge. At the analysis of the results it was verified high rates at function’s alteration, at the moment of admittance, many of which were just lessened during the hospitalization and the others have changed. Among the functional alterations presented by the old women the ones related to ingest/digest come off in 35 (70%) of them during hospitalization and in 32 (64%) at the moment of the hospital discharge, skin, nails and hair alterations in 33 (66%) of the ladies during hospitalization and in 31 (62%) at the moment of the discharge, body movement alteration in 31 (62%) and 30 (60%) of them during the hospitalization and at the discharge also, we can take other results as example like blood circulate alterations, vision, eliminatons, sleep and rest, sensibility, hearing and breathing.
