2.Whenattempting to minimize the effect ofageism onthe practice ofnursing older adults, a nursing
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




attendant needs to first:
tr tr tr tr




a. recognizethat nursing attendants must act as advocates for aging hospital patients. tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




b. accept that this population represents a substantialportion ofthose requiring nursing care.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




c. self-reflect and formulate one’s personal view ofaging and the older hospital patient. tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




d. recognize ageism as a formofbigotryshared by many tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




tr Americans.

CORRECT CHOICE:-C tr




Reasoning:->>>Ageism is anever-increasing prejudicial view ofthe effects ofthe aging process and of the tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




older population as a whole. With nursing attendants being members of a society holding such views, it is
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




critical that the individual nursing attendant self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging hospital patient. Acting as an
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

Reasoning:->>>The health and ultimate autonomy ofolder Americans has been positively impacted by the tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have been more
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than have in-home care
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

7. Which of the following statements made by a nursing attendant preparing to complete a health
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




assessment and history on an older hospital patient reflects an understanding of the general health
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




status of this population?
tr tr tr tr




a. “I’ll need to document wellregarding the medications thehospital patient iscurrently prescribed.”
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




b. “I would like to understand how supportive the hospital patient’s family members are.”

d. “It willbe interesting to seewhether thishospital patient sees
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




herselfas being healthy.”
tr tr tr tr




CORRECT CHOICE:-D tr




Reasoning:->>>It is a misconception that old age is synonymous with illness and illness. The nursing tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




attendant should always determine the hospital patient’s sense of wellness and independence when
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




conducting a health and history assessment. An assessment of medication use and family support is
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




important for any hospital patient. Manyolder adults do have chronic health conditions, but their
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




perception is more important than a single number.
