,PART I: INTRODUCTION TO GERONTOLOGIC NURSING
CHAPTER 01: OVERVIEW OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING
MEINER: GERONTOLOGIC NURSING, 6TH 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.
CORRECT 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.
CORRECT 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.

TOP: TEACHING-LEARNING MSC: SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CARE ENVIRONMENT
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 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.
