,CHAPTER 01: OVERVIEW OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING
MEINER: GERONTOLOGIC NURSING, 5TH EDITION MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. IN 2010, THE REVISED STANDARDS AND SCOPE OF GERONTOLOGICAL NURSING PRACTICE
WAS PUBLISHED. THE NURSE WOULD USE THESE STANDARDS TO:
A. PROMOTE THE PRACTICE OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING WITHIN THE ACUTE CARE SETTING.
B. DEFINE THE CONCEPTS AND DIMENSIONS OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING PRACTICE.
C. ELEVATE THE PRACTICE OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING.
D. INCORPORATE SUGGESTED INTERVENTIONS FROM OTHERS WHO PRACTICE GERONTOLOGIC
NURSING. ANS: D
THE CURRENT PUBLISHING OF THE STANDARDS AND SCOPE OF GERONTOLOGICAL NURSING
PRACTICE IN 2010 INCORPORATES THE INPUT OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSES FROM ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES. IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO PROMOTE GERONTOLOGIC NURSING PRACTICE WITHIN
ACUTE CARE SETTINGS, DEFINE CONCEPTS OR DIMENSIONS OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING PRACTICE,
OR ELEVATE THE PRACTICE OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING. DIF: REMEMBERING (KNOWLEDGE) REF:
PAGE 2 OBJ: 1-1
TOP: N/A MSC: SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CARE ENVIRONMENT
2. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MINIMIZE THE EFFECT OF AGEISM ON THE PRACTICE OF NURSING
OLDER ADULTS, A NURSE NEEDS TO FIRST:
A. RECOGNIZE THAT NURSES MUST ACT AS ADVOCATES FOR AGING PATIENTS.
B. ACCEPT THAT THIS POPULATION REPRESENTS A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THOSE
REQUIRING NURSING CARE.
C. SELF-REFLECT AND FORMULATE ONE’S PERSONAL VIEW OF AGING AND THE OLDER
PATIENT.
D. RECOGNIZE AGEISM AS A FORM OF BIGOTRY SHARED BY MANY AMERICANS. ANS: C
AGEISM IS AN EVER-INCREASING PREJUDICIAL VIEW OF THE EFFECTS OF THE AGING PROCESS AND
OF THE OLDER POPULATION AS A WHOLE. WITH NURSES BEING MEMBERS OF A SOCIETY HOLDING
SUCH VIEWS, IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL NURSE SELF-REFLECT ON PERSONAL FEELINGS
AND DETERMINE WHETHER SUCH FEELINGS WILL AFFECT THE NURSING CARE THAT HE OR SHE
PROVIDES TO THE AGING PATIENT. ACTING AS AN ADVOCATE IS AN IMPORTANT NURSING ROLE IN
, ALL SETTINGS. SIMPLY ACCEPTING A FACT DOES NOT HELP 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 AMERICANS, THE NURSE INCLUDES THE IMPORTANCE OF:
A. INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF IN-HOME CARE SERVICES.
B. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT OF RETIRED CITIZENS.
C. EFFECTIVE ANTIBIOTIC THERAPIES.
D. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE-EXTENDING THERAPIES. ANS: C
THE HEALTH AND ULTIMATE AUTONOMY OF OLDER AMERICANS HAS BEEN POSITIVELY IMPACTED
BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIBIOTICS, BETTER SANITATION, AND VACCINES. THESE PUBLIC
HEALTH MEASURES HAVE BEEN MORE INSTRUMENTAL IN INCREASING THE NUMBERS OF HEALTHY,
INDEPENDENT OLDER AMERICANS THAN HAVE 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 NURSE INCLUDES THE PATIENT’S:
A. NONRELATED CARETAKER.
B. PAID CAREGIVER.
C. FAMILY MEMBER.
D. INTUITIONAL REPRESENTATIVE.
