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

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

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