Chapter 1. Principles of Primary Care of Older Adults
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In 2010, the revised Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice was
published. The nurse would use these standards to:
a. promote the practice of gerontologic nursing within the acute care setting.
b. define the concepts and dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice.
c. elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.
d. incorporate suggested interventions from others who practice gerontologic nursing.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in 2010
incorporates the input of gerontologic nurses from across the United States. It was not intended
to promote gerontologic nursing practice within acute care settings, define concepts or
dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice, or elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.

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

TOP: Teaching-Learning MSC: Safe and Effective Care Environment
3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy,
independent older Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:
a. increased availability of in-home care services.
b. government support of retired citizens.
c. effective antibiotic therapies.
