MULTIPLE CHOICE 9i



1. In 2010, the revised Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice was published. The
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



nursing attendant would use these standards to:
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




a. promote the practice of gerontologic nursing within the acute care setting.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




b. define the concepts and dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




c. elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




d. incorporate suggested interventions from others who practice 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




9i gerontologic nursing. 9i




CORRECT CHOICE:-D 9i



Reasoning:->>>The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



Practice in 2010 incorporates the input of gerontologic nursing attendants from across the United
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



States. It was not intended to promote gerontologic nursing practice within acute care settings, define
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



concepts or dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice, or elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.

2.When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



nursing attendant needs to first:
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




a. recognize that nursing attendants must act as advocates for aging hospital patients.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




c. self-reflect and formulate one‟s personal view of aging and the older hospital patient.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




9i Americans.

CORRECT CHOICE:-C 9i



Reasoning:->>>Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



the older population as a whole. With nursing attendants being members of a society holding such
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



views, it is critical that the individual nursing attendant self-reflect on personal feelings and determine
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging hospital patient.
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




9i Americans, the nursing attendant includes the importance of:
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i

,a. increased availability of in-home care services. 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i




b. government support of retired citizens. 9i 9i 9i 9i




c. effective antibiotic therapies. 9i 9i




d. the development of life-extending
9i 9i 9i




therapies.
9i




CORRECT CHOICE:-C 9i



Reasoning:->>>The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



the development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than have
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

4. Based on current data, when presenting an older adult‟s discharge teaching plan, the nursing attendant
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



includes the hospital patient‟s:
9i 9i 9i 9i




a. nonrelated caretaker. 9i




b. paid caregiver.9i




c. family member. 9i




d. intuitional representative. 9i




CORRECT CHOICE:-C 9i



Reasoning:->>>Less than 4% of older adults live in a formal primary care environment. The majority of 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



the geriatric population lives at home or with family members.

5. The nursing attendant planning care for an older adult who has recently been diagnosed with
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



rheumatoid arthritis views the priority criterion for continued independence to be the hospital
9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



patient‟s:
9i




a. age.


b. financial status. 9i




c. gender.

d. functional
status.
9i




CORRECT
CHOICE:-
9i




D
Reasoning:->>>Maintaining the functional status of older adults may avert the onset of physical 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i 9i



frailty and cognitive impairment, two conditions that increase the likelihood of institutionalization.
