t


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


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

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


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


tyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers
t t t t t t t t t t t t t


tthe family member’s question?
t t t


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


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


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


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


years.” t


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


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


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


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




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
t


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


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


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


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


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


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


education at a master’s level.
