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.

2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
medic needs to first:
a. recognize that medics must act as advocates for aging clients.
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 client.
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
CORRECT: C
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older
population as a whole. With medics being members of a society holding such views, it is
criticalthat the individual medic self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such
feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging client. Acting as an
advocate isan important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end
ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

CORRECT: C
The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than
have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

7. Which of the following statements made by a medic preparing to complete a health
assessment and history on an older client reflects an understanding of the general health status of
this population?
a. Ill need to document well regarding the medications the client is currently prescribed.
b. I would like to understand how supportive the clients family members are.
c. Most older clients are being treated for a variety of chronic health care issues.
d. It will be interesting to see whether this client sees herself as being healthy.
CORRECT: D
It is a misconception that old age is synonymous with disease and illness. The medic should
always determine the clients sense of wellness and independence when conducting a health and
history assessment. An assessment of medication use and family support is important for any
client. Many older adults do have chronic health conditions, but their perception is more
important than a single number.

8. The medic is caring for an older adult who has been admitted to an acute care hospital for
treatment of a fractured femur. The family expresses concern about the clients pending transfer
to a subacute care facility. What response by the medic is best?
a. Acute care facilities lack the long-term physical therapy support your dad requires.
b. Your dad will be much happier in a more serene, private environment.
c. The subacute facility will focus on helping your dad maintain his independence.
d. Insurance, including Medicare, will cover only a limited amount of time here.
CORRECT: C
The transfer of the client to a subacute facility is based on the need to maintain the clients
level of function and independence, a task the acute care facility is not prepared to address once
the client is physiologically stable. The client may or may not be happier in the new setting; the
medic should not make this judgment. It is true that insurance only pays for a limited amount of
time in an acute care facility, but this is not the best reason for the client to transfer.

9. To best assure both the quality of care and the safety of the older adult client who requires in-
home unlicensed assistive personal (UAP) assistance, the geriatric medic:
a. evaluates the competency of the UAP staff.
b. assumes the roles of case manager and client advocate.
c. arranges for the needed UAP provided services.
d. assesses the client for functional limitations.
CORRECT: A
As more care traditionally provided by professional medics is being transferred to UAP, the medic
must assume more responsibility for educating, training, and evaluating the competency of UAP
staff to provide safe, effective care for the older adult client.
