l# arthritis l#with l#a l#colleague. l#Which l#of l#the l#nurse's l#statements l#reflects l#an
l# accurate l#view l#of l#the l#relationship l#between l#aging l#and l#wellness?
A) "It's l#important l#that l#the l#individual l#knows l#this l#is l#an l#expected l#part l#of
l#growing l#older."
B) "We l#need l#to l#teach l#the l#older l#adult l#how l#he l#can l#keep l#living l#a
fruitful l#life l#in l#spite l#of l#his l#diagnosis."
l#
C) "We l#need l#to l#make l#sure l#our l#teaching l#is l#not l#too l#detailed l#for l#someone
l#of l#his l#age."
D) "We l#need l#to l#ensure l#his l#expectations l#of l#continuing l#to l#live l#alone
are l#realistic." l#ANSWER:
l# B
Feedback:
Answer l#B l#reflects l#a l#desire l#to l#foster l#a l#fulfilling l#and l#productive l#life l#for
l# the l#older l#adult l#despite l#his l#diagnosis, l#and l#reflects l#an l#understanding l#of
l# wellness l#and l#aging. l#Option l#A l#implies l#that l#illness l#is l#an l#inevitability l#of
l# aging. l#Option l#C l#suggests l#that l#older l#adults l#have l#a l#limited l#capacity l#to
l# learn l#by l#virtue l#of l#their l#age, l#and l#option l#D l#implies l#pessimism l#about l#the
l# health l#and l#functioning l#of l#the l#older l#adult.
