Chapter 1 - Principles of Gerontology
1) The nurse is preparing to discharge an older client with instructions on smoking cessation. The
nurse states to a colleague, "This client has been smoking for years and isn't going to stop now."
Which negative stereotype of aging does the nurse's statement most reflect?
1. Old people are expected to be sick.
2. Old people are set in their ways.
k
3. Old people do not value health promotion education.
4. Old people are a drain on societal resources.
Answer: 3

enjoy and give life meaning and pleasure.
3. Although it may not be possible to reverse all the damage, it is never too late to stop smoking
cigarettes. People who quit smoking at an older age enjoy better health outcomes.
st
4. Older people contribute greatly to society by volunteering, helping with grandchildren,
mentoring others, and continue working.
