x

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


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


xyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers
x x x x x x x x x x x x x


xthe family member’s question?
x x x


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


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


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


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


years.”
x


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


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


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


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




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
x


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


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


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


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


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


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


gerontological education at a master’s level.
