1. In 2010, the revised Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice was published.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
The nurse would use these standards to:
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
a. promote the practice of gerontologic nursing within the acute care setting.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
b. define the concepts and dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
c. elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.
xc xc xc xc xc
d. incorporate suggested interventions from others who practice gerontologic
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
nursing.

The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in 2010
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
incorporates the input of gerontologic nurses from across the United States. It was not intended
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
to promote gerontologic nursing practice within acute care settings, define concepts or
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice, or elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.

2. The nurse planning care for an older adult who has recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
arthritis views the priority criterion for continued independence to be the patients:
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
a. age.
b. financial status. xc
c. gender.
d. functional status. xc
ANS: D xc
Maintaining the functional status of older adults may avert the onset of physical frailty and
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
cognitive impairment, two conditions that increase the likelihood of institutionalization.

3. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc nurse needs to first:
xc xc xc
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
nursing care.
xc xc
c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
ANS: C xc
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
critical that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

4. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:
xc xc xc xc xc xc
a. increased availability of in-home care services. xc xc xc xc xc
b. government support of retired citizens. xc xc xc xc
c. effective antibiotic therapies. xc xc
d. the development of life-extending therapies.
xc xc xc xc
ANS: C xc
The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc
xc have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

includes the patients:

a. nonrelated caretaker. xc
