Jk MULTIPLE CHOICE Jk




1. When asked bynew parents what the life expectancyis for their African American newborn, the
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




Jk nurse replies that, “2010 statistics indicate that your son:
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




a. will have a life expectancy of approximately65 years.”
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk




b. can realistically expect to live into his late 80s.”
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




c. has a good chance of celebrating his 75th birthday.”
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




d. is likelyto live into his late 90s.”
Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




ANS: C J k




In 2010, men in the United States at age 60 can expect to live another 22 years. The life
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




expectancyof African American men is about 4.7 years less than white men. Of the options above,
Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




C is the only response that fits into those parameters. The other options are not supported by
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




reliable research.

2. A nurse is planning care for a group of super-centenarians in an assisted living facility. The
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




nurse considers which of the following?
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




a. Most super-centenarians are functionallyindependent or require minimal
Jk Jk kJ kJ Jk kJ kJ




assistance with activities of daily living
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




b. Themajorityof super-centenarians have cognitive impairment
kJ kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk




c. Thenumber of super-centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a
kJ kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




result of heart disease and stroke
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




d. It is theorized that super-centenarians survived as long as theyhave due to genetic
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk




mutations that made them less susceptible to common diseases
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




ANS: A J k




Research supports that most super-centenarians are functionally and cognitively intact,
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




requiring minimal assistance with ADLs. The number of super-centenarians is expected to
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




increase in coming years as the number of older adults increases. The reason whyindividuals
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ




survived as long as they have is not known.

3. One reason why many “baby boomers” have multiple chronic conditions such as heart disease,
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




Jk diabetes, and arthritis is that: Jk Jk Jk Jk




a. theyhave less access to medication and other treatment regimens.
kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




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




c. theydid not have access to immunizations against communicable disease when
kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




they were children.
Jk Jk Jk




d. theygrew up in an era of rampant poverty and malnutrition.
kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk

, ANS: B J k




The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-WWII, have better access to
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. They have had the benefit of the
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




development of immunizations against communicable diseases. They grew up in an era of
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




prosperity post-WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




consider healthy living when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned, but
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




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




much secondhand smoke.

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




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




examinations, screening for diabetes, and vision and hearing screening. It is important for the
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




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




a. Approximately40% of older adults (ages 65 and older) utilize available preventive kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




services Jk




b. Preventive strategies are more widelyused in the 40-64 age group than in the 65 Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




and over age group
Jk Jk Jk Jk




c. Theresearch on health promotion strategies in older adults demonstrates that they
kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk Jk Jk




have low efficacy
Jk Jk Jk




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




ANS: A J k




Approximately 40% of individuals, ages 65 and older, utilize the preventive services that are Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




available to them. However, only 24% of those between the ages of 40 and 64 do so. There is a
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




paucity of research specific to health promotion and aging; however, the research that exists
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




demonstrates that health promotion strategies are highly effective.

5. A nurse is caring for an 85-year-old male client with diabetes in a community setting. The
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




Jk nurse promotes functional wellness by which of the following activities?
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




a. Encouragingthe client maintains current levels of physical activity kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




b. Assistingthe client to receive all the recommended preventive screenings that are kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




appropriate for his age group
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




c. Teachingthe patient how to use a rolling walker so that he can ambulate for longer kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




distances Jk




d. Encouragingthe client to attend his weeklychess games kJ Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk kJ Jk




ANS: A J k




Maintaining existing levels of physical activity is consistent with functional wellness. Teaching
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




the client how to use a rolling walker enables the client to remain active at the highest level
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




possible, which is an example of promoting functional wellness. Receiving recommended
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




screening is an example of promoting biological wellness. The use of a rolling walker should be
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




based on assessment of physical ability. Encouraging the client to attend weekly chess games is
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




an example of promoting social wellness.

1. Primary prevention strategies for older adults include which of the following? (Select all that
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




apply.)
Jk




a. An annual influenza immunization clinic
Jk Jk Jk Jk




b. A smoking cessation program

d. Acardiac rehabilitation program
kJ Jk Jk




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




ANS: A, B Jk Jk




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




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




examples of primary prevention. Secondary prevention is the early detection of a disease or a
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




health problem that has already developed. Prostate screening is an example of secondary
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




prevention. Tertiary prevention addresses the needs of individuals who already have their
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




wellness challenged. Cardiac rehabilitation and meal planning for diabetics are examples of
Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk Jk




tertiaryprevention.
