2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant: “What is the
significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that you are, but not all of
the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers the family member’s
question?
a.
“National certification as a gerontological nursing attendant is a
way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
adults.”
b.
“National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing
attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more years.”
c.
“National certification is only available to nursing
attendants who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
d.
“Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like nursing
attendant practitioners, are certified in gerontology.”
ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special
expertise in caring for older adults. It is not required for practice in any
setting across the continuum of care, and it is not exclusive
to nursing attendants with Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist
and a specialist gerontological nursing certification. The generalist functions in
a variety of settings providing care to older adults and their
families. The specialist has advanced
gerontological education at a master’s level.
