Chapter 01: Introduction to Healthy Aging Touhy & Jett: Ebersole and Hess’ Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging, 5th Edition MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. A man is terminally ill with end-stage prostate cancer. Which is the best statement about thisman’s wellness? a. Wellness can only be achieved with aggressive medical interventions. b. Wellness is not a real option for this client because he is terminally ill. c. Wellness is defined as the absence of disease. d. Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness. ANS: D Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse can foster wellness in his or her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness perspective is based on the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward wellnessis possible if emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a supportive environment. PTS: 1 DIF: Apply REF: p. 7 TOP: Nursing Process: DiagnosisMSC: Health Promotion and Maintenance 2. In differentiating between health and wellness in health care, which of the following statements is true? a. Health is a broad term encompassing attitudes and behaviors. b. The concept of illness prevention was never considered by previous generations. c. Wellness and self-actualization develop through learning and growth. d. Wellness is impossible when one’s health is compromised. ANS: A Health is a broad term that encompasses attitudes and behaviors; holistically, health includes wellness, which in- volves one’s whole being. The concept of illness prevention was never considered by previous generations; through-out history, basic self-care requirements have been recognized. Wellness and selfactualization develop through learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higher level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich- ness to life. Wellness is possible when one’s health is compromised—even with chronic illness, with multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness is possible.

Native Americans b. African Americans c. Hispanic Americans d. Asian and Pacific Island Americans ANS: C As shown in Figure 1.4, Hispanic men and women have the highest life expectancy of all. In 2011, for those of His-panic origin of any race, the overall life expectancy at 65 years of age was 20.7 more years in 2011 (19.1 years for men and 21.8 years for women). PTS: 1 DIF: Understand REF: p. 6 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC:Safe, Effective Care Environment 4. Historical influences that have shaped the lives of the majority of the in-between cohort in theUnited States today include which of the following? a. Influenza epidemic of 1918 b. World War I c. Child rearing in the Depression d. World War II ANS: D Those who are in the in-between cohort in 2016 were born between 1915 and 1945. The men were likely to have fought in World War II. The last of the Holocaust survivors are in this group. A person who survived the influenza epidemic would be at least 98 years old in 2016 and therefore would be considered old-old or a centenarian. Most ofthose who are of the in-between cohort had not reached childbearing age by the end of the Depression. Individuals in the inbetween cohort would not have been old enough to fight in World War II. PTS: 1 DIF: Understand REF: p. 5 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC:Safe, Effective Care Environment 5. According to researchers, which characteristic do most centenarians share? a. Female b. Hispanic c. Living in rural areas d. Located in the Midwestern states ANS: A Based on the U.S. census report of 2010, centenarians were overwhelmingly white, female, and living in the urbanareas of the Southern states. PTS: 1 DIF: Remember REF: p. 5 TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC:Safe, Effective Care Environment 6. Which nursing intervention is a holistic approach to an older adult? a. Performs glucose testing during the weekly worship service b. Wheels ambulatory adults to exercise when running late c. Assigns female nurses to older women who are Islamic d. Allows older adults in a nursing home to eat meals alone ANS: C The nurse uses a holistic approach to the care of an older female adult who is Islamic because the woman and her family are more likely to be willing participants in a therapeutic regimen that respects a tenet of their culture. Interrupting an older adult’s worship with glucose testing can be interpreted as a lack of respect for spiritual needs. The nurse can provide for and respect the physical and spiritual aspects of the older adult’s life by testing for glucose before the service begins. In transporting ambulatory adults to the exercise program in wheelchairs to save time, thenurse disregards the need for self-esteem and exercise, both important aspects of physical well-being. Ambulatory adults can walk with assistance, if needed, to exercise programs and can benefit from the additional activity and independence. The nurse can be tempted to allow an older adult to eat meals alone in his or her room if this will motivate the person to eat or if the older adult has dysphasia and is embarrassed. However, although focusing on physical needs, the nurse ignores psychosocial and other aspects of health and well-being.

Whichnursing intervention is most likely to assist this man in achieving his highest level of wellness? a. Instruct him about increasing dietary fiber. b. Ask the health care provider for a lowfat diet. c. Schedule a consultation for him with the dietitian. d. Review a menu with him to choose suitable foods. ANS: D The nurse collaborates with the older adult to choose suitable foods, which is likely to be an effective nursing inter- vention to help an older adult with hyperlipidemia achieve optimal health and well-being; it gives him some control over the regimen and thus engages him in the proces

The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is to

converse with the patient, not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may prevent the

patient from speaking directly to a nurse. Technical terms and metaphors may be difficult or

d. Consult with apractitioner of Chinese medicine. B B B B B B

ANS: C B

Using the LEARN model (listen with sympathy to the patient‘s perception of the problem,
B B B B B B B B B B B B B

explain your perception of the problem, acknowledge the differences and similarities,
B B B B B B B B B B B

recommend treatment, and negotiate agreement), the nurse gathers information from the patient

about cultural beliefs concerning health careand avoids stereotyping thepatient. In the assessment,

the nursedetermines what thepatient believes about caregiving, decision making, treatment, and

other pertinent health-related information. Speaking with the health care provider is premature

until the assessment is complete. Unless he accepts the beliefs, principles of the holistic health

d. Havethe older woman repeat the instructions forclarity.
B B B B B B B B

ANS: B B

When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal
B B B B B B B B B B B B B

communication and emotion regarding a specific topic and therefore validates the assessment
B B B B B B B B B B B B

about the older adult‘s tension before proceeding. Because the nurse notices her tension, the
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B

nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the nurse proceeds and
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B

the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, thenimportant instructions can be missed,
B B B B B B B B B B B B B

leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions can aggravate the older
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B

adult‘s discomfort. Instructing the older adult to repeat the nurse‘s instruction ignores her needs.
