MULTIPLE CHOICE r1




1. When asked by new parents what the life expectancy is for their African American newborn,
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


the nurse replies that, ―2015 statistics indicate that your son:
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


a. will have a life expectancy of approximately 65 years.‖
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


b. can realistically expect to live into his late 80s.‖
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


c. has a good chance of celebrating his 75th birthday.‖
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1

, d. is likely to live into his late 90s.‖
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1




ANS: C r 1


The overall life expectancy at birth in the United States in 2015 was 78.8. The disparity bet

parameters. The other options are not supported by reliable research.

2. A nurse is planning care for a group of super-
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


centenarians in an assisted living facility. The nurse considers which of the following?
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


a. Most super- r1


centenarians are functionally independent or require minimal assistance r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1

b. The majority of super-centenarians have cognitive impairment.
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


c. The number of super- r1 r1 r1


centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a result of heart diseas r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


e and stroke. r1 r1


d. It is theorized that super-
r1 r1 r1 r1


centenarians survived as long as they have due to genetic mutations that made the r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


m less susceptible to common diseases.

3. One reason why many ―baby boomers‖ have multiple chronic conditions such as heart
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r


disease, diabetes, and arthritis is that:
1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


a. they have less access to medication and other treatment regimens.
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


b. there was a lack of importance placed on healthy living as they were growing up.
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


c. they did not have access to immunizations against communicable disease when
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r


they were children.
1 r1 r1

, d. they grew up in an era of rampant poverty and malnutrition.
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1




ANS: B r 1


The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


WWII, have better access to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. They h

WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now consider healthy l
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


iving when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned, but was consider

4. A nurse is planning an education program on wellness in a local senior citizen center. The
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


nurse plans to provide education on the importance of immunizations, annual physical e
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


xaminations, screening for diabetes, and vision and hearing screening. It is important for
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


the nurse to understand which of the following?
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


a. Less than 50% of older adults (ages 65 and older) utilize available preventive
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


services. r1


b. Preventive strategies are more widely used in the 50-64 age- r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


group than in the 65 and over age-group. r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


c. The research on health promotion strategies in older adults demonstrates that they
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


have low efficacy.
r1 r1 r1


d. There is an abundance of research specific to health promotion and aging.

Less than 50% of individuals, ages 65 and older, utilize the preventive services that are av

ailable to them. However, only 25% of those between the ages of 50 and 64 do so. There is
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


a paucity of research specific to health promotion and aging; however, the research that ex

r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


the following characteristics?
r1 r1 r1


a. An American woman with no signs of dementia

1. Primary prevention strategies for older adults include which of the following? (Select al
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


l that apply.)
r1 r1


a. An annual influenza immunization clinic
r1 r1 r1 r1

d. A cardiac rehabilitation program
r1 r1 r1


e. A meal planning education program for type 2 diabetics
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1




ANS: A, B r 1 r1


Primary prevention refers to strategies that are used to prevent an illness before it occurs and
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


maintaining wellness across the continuum of care. Immunizations and smoking cessation
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


are examples of primary prevention. Secondary prevention is the early detection of a disease
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


or a health problem that has already developed. Prostate screening is an example of second
r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


ary prevention. Tertiary prevention addresses the needs of individuals who already have the

r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1


of tertiary prevention.
