MULTIPLE CHOICE ss




1. When did serious and well-controlled research studies on aging first
ss ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss



become available?

a. Only in the past 60 years. ss s s ss s s ss



b. Since the turn of the 20th century. ss ss s s ss ss ss



c. Following the Great Depression. ss ss s s



d. Since the year 2000. ss ss ss




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A

REASONING:->>>Only in the past 60 years have serious and carefully controlled ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



research studies flourished. Before that, anecdotal evidence was used to illustrate
ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss



issues assumed to be
ss universal, making all the remaining options
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



incorrect.

2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant: “What is
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



the significance of
ss being certified in gerontology? I see that you are,
ss s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers the
s s s s s s ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss ss ss



family member’s question?
ss ss ss



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




way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss




adults.” s s



b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more
ss ss ss ss ss s s s s s s ss s s




years.” s s



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




who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
ss ss ss s s ss s s s s



d. “Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like nursingss ss ss ss ss ss




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




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
ss



REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special s s s s ss s s s s s s s s




expertise in caring
s s for older adults. It is not required for practice in any
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




setting across the continuum of care, and
ss ss it is not exclusive ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




to nursing attendants with Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist
ss ss ss ss ss s s s s ss s s ss s s




s and a specialist gerontological nursing certification. The generalist functions in
s ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




a variety of
ss ss settings providing care to older adults and their
ss ss ss ss s s s s s s s s




families. The specialist has advanced
s s s s s s s s s s



gerontological education at a master’s level. s s s s s s s s s s
