2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant:
g g g g g g g g g g


g “What is the significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that
g g g g g g g g g g g g


gyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best
g g g g g g g g g g g g


ganswers the family member’s question? g g g g


a. “National certification as a gerontological nursing attendant is a
g g g g g g g g


way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
g g g g g g g g g g


adults.”
b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing
g g g g g g g g


attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more
g g g g g g g g g g


years.”
g


c. “National certification is only available to nursing attendants
g g g g g g g


who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
g g g g g g g g


d. “Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like nursing
g g g g g g


attendant practitioners, are certified in gerontology.”
g g g g g




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
g


REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special expertise g g g g g g g g


in caring for older adults. It is not required for practice in any setting across the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


continuum of care, and it is not exclusive to nursing attendants with
g g g g g g g g g g g


Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist and a specialist gerontological
g g g g g g g g g g


nursing certification. The generalist functions in a variety of settings providing
g g g g g g g g g g


care to older adults and their families. The specialist has advanced
g g g g g g g g g g g


gerontological education at a master’s level.
