MULTIPLE CHOICE y




1. When did serious and well-controlled research studies on aging first become
y y y y y y y y y y


y available?
a. Only in the past 60 years. y y y y y


b. Since the turn of the 20th century.
y y y y y y


c. Following the Great Depression. y y y


d. Since the year 2000. y y y




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
y


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


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


illustrate issues assumed to be universal, making all the remaining options
y y y y y y y y y y y y


incorrect.

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


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


yyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best
y y y y y y y y y y y y


yanswers the family member’s question? y y y y


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


way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
y y y y y y y y y y


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


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


years.”
y


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


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


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


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




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
y


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


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


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


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


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


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


gerontological education at a master’s level.
