MULTIPLE CHOICE Wi




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


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


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


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


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


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




ANS: C W i


The overall life expectancy at birth in the United States in 2015 was 78.8. The disparit
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


y between life expectancies for black and white Americans has narrowed significantly
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


between 1999 and 2015, with the death rate for blacks (African Americans) dropping b
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


y 25% (Office of Minority Health, 2017). Of the options above, C is the only response
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


that fits into those parameters. The other options are not supported by reliable research.

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


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


a. Most super- Wi


centenarians are functionally independent or require minimal assistanc

Wi Wi


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


c. The number of super- Wi Wi Wi


centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a result of heart di
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


sease and stroke. Wi Wi


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


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


them less susceptible to common diseases.
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi




ANS: A W i


Research supports that most super- Wi Wi Wi Wi


centenarians are functionally and cognitively intact, requiring minimal assistance with A

DLs. The number of super-
Wi Wi Wi Wi


centenarians is expected to increase in coming years as the number of older adults incre

3. One reason why many ―baby boomers‖ have multiple chronic conditions such as h
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


eart disease, diabetes, and arthritis is that:
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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


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


c. they did not have access to immunizations against communicable disease w

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


WWII, have better access to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. The
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


y have had the benefit of the development of immunizations against communicable dis
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


eases. They grew up in an era of prosperity post-
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now consider heal
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


thy living when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned, but was
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi W


considered a symbol of status. Candy in the shape of cigarettes was popular, and there
i Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


was much secondhand smoke.

Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


. The nurse plans to provide education on the importance of immunizations, annual p

hysical examinations, screening for diabetes, and vision and hearing screening. It is i
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


mportant for the nurse to understand which of the following?
Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi Wi


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

ntive services. Wi


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