2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant:
f f f f f f f f f f


f “What is the significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that
f f f f f f f f f f f f


fyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers
f f f f f f f f f f f f f


fthe family member’s question?
f f f


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


wayto demonstratespecial knowledge in caring for older
f f f f f f f f f f


adults.”
b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing f f f f f f f f


attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more
f f f f f f f f f f


years.” f


c. “National certification is only available to nursing attendants f f f f f f f


who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
f f f f f f f f


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


attendant practitioners, are certified in gerontology.”
f f f f f




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
f


REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special expertise f f f f f f f f


in caring for older adults. It is not required for practice in any setting across the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f


continuum of care, and it is not exclusive to nursing attendants with
f f f f f f f f f f f


Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist and a specialist gerontological
f f f f f f f f f f


nursing certification. The generalist functions in a variety of settings providing
f f f f f f f f f f


care to older adults and their families. The specialist has advanced gerontological
f f f f f f f f f f f f


education at a master’s level.
