,Chapter 1: Changes With Aging


MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Mrs. Smith, who is 75 years old, reports that she is weak, has difficulty urinating, and is
dehydrated. Although she is afebrile, the nurse conducts a thorough physical examination
including urinalysis and complete blood count (CBC). The total assessment is necessary
because:
a. All body systems interact, and symptoms could indicate a variety of diagnoses.
b. The symptoms are vague and may be signs of aging.
c. There may be other signs or symptoms more indicative of the condition.
d. Mrs. Smith may not be reporting all significant information.
ANS: A
Chapter number/title: Chapter 1 Changes With Aging
Learning objective: The learner will be familiarized with fundamental underpinnings that
serve to guide the approach to assessment and management of older adults.
Heading: Physiological Changes With Aging
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback
A The clinician must be aware that all the systems interact and, in doing so, can
increase the older adult’s vulnerability to illness/disease.
B The nurse must not attribute symptoms only to the aging process.
C There may be comorbidities accompanying this condition.
D Assumptions of not reporting properly may not be true.

2. A patient with renal disease has blood work drawn, and the results show an increase in
serum creatinine. Which of the following laboratory values does the advanced practice
registered nurse (APRN) need to know before ordering medications?
a. Complete blood count
b. Culture and sensitivity of the urine
c. Creatinine clearance
d. Uric acid levels
ANS: C
Chapter number/title: Chapter 1 Changes With Aging
Learning objective: The learner will understand how the changes that accompany aging
influence reference laboratory values.
Heading: Laboratory Values in Older Adults
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback
A A complete blood count (CBC) will not evaluate kidney function for a patient
with renal disease. It shows how the bone marrow is producing and the growth
of blood components.
B A culture and sensitivity test reflects the presence of an infection and the

, antibiotic to which the organism is sensitive.
C The calculation of creatinine clearance provides an estimation of renal function.

ANS: A
Chapter number/title: Chapter 1 Changes With Aging
Learning objective: The learner will be familiarized with fundamental underpinnings that
serve to guide the approach to assessment and management of older adults.
Heading: Laboratory Values in Older Adults
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback
A The APRN should have a plan for the use of each test result value obtained.
B When considering which laboratory tests to order, it is worth remembering the
doctrine primum no nnocere: First, do no harm.
C Once laboratory tests are available for review, test results should be discussed
with the patient. Abnormal test results should be interpreted for the aging
individual and addressed with the patient and caregivers.
D Any risks involved in laboratory testing must be considered concerning the
patient’s clinical condition and weighed against the test’s expected benefits.
