ACCURATE

A
REASONING:->>>Only in the past 60 years have serious and carefully controlled hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh



research studies flourished. Before that, anecdotal evidence was used to
hh h h hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh



illustrate issues assumed to be

options incorrect.

2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant: “What
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h



is the significance of
h h hh being certified in gerontology? I see that you
hh h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h



are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers
h h h h h h h h hh hh hh hh hh h h hh hh hh



the family member’s question?
hh hh hh hh



a. “National certification as a gerontological nursing attendant is a hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh




way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
hh hh h h hh hh hh hh hh hh




adults.” h h



b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh




attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more
hh hh hh hh hh h h h h h h hh h h




years.” h h



c. “National certification is only available to nursing hh hh hh hh hh hh




attendants who have a Baccalaureate degree in
hh hh hh hh h h hh h h




nursing.”h h



d. “Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like
hh hh hh hh hh




nursing attendant
hh practitioners, are certified in hh hh hh hh




gerontology.”
hh




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-
hh



A
REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special h h h h hh h h h h h h h h




expertise in caring
h h for older adults. It is not required for practice in any
hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh




setting across the continuum of care, and
hh hh it is not exclusivehh hh hh hh hh hh hh hh




to nursing attendants with Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist
hh hh hh hh hh h h h h hh h h hh h h



h and a specialist gerontological nursing certification. The generalist functions
h hh h h hh hh hh hh hh hh




in a variety of
hh hh hh settings providing care to older adults and their
hh hh hh hh h h h h h h h h




families. The specialist has advanced
h h h h h h h h h h



gerontological education at a master’s level. h h h h h h h h h h
