Chapter 01: Overview of Gerontologic Nursing
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.

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.
Fr
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.
an
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.
kl
CORRECT ANSWER: C
yn
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
e
individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the
A
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
pl
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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.
