Gerontological Nursing &
Healthy Aging 5th Edition Touhy
Question With Answers

The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of the older adults,
and this intervention helps maintain the therapeutic plan, thereby addressing the
need for physiological integrity. Furthermore, the nurse maintains continuity of care
by preparing a medication schedule to prevent missed doses of medication.
Providing safety and security from the storm is Maslows second most basic need.

In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to safety, security,
and physical well-being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is important but not in
emergency conditions. A state of emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem;
meeting safety, security, and physical needs are more important.

An older woman tells the nurse that she has experienced increasing fatigue and
shortness of breath over the last 2 days. Which goal is the nurses priority?

a.Promote safety to prevent injury.

b.Complete nutritional assessment.

c.Balance exercise and rest periods.

d.Explore the womans complaints. - Correct Answer- ANS: D

Investigating the complaint is the nurses priority; fatigue and shortness of breath
can indicate cardiac disease, especially in women. Women with cardiac disease often
exhibit atypical symptoms, and because it tends to be treated less aggressively in
women, the nurse must be careful not to miss indicators of potential cardiac disease.
In addition, in investigating the older womans chief complaint, the nurse
investigates all possible causes.

Promoting safety and preventing injury are reasonable goals to include for this adult
but are not as important as investigating the chief complaint; breathing and
circulation are two of the three most important physical needs. Completing the
nutritional assessment for this adult is reasonable because the symptoms can be
related to nutritional deficiencies; however, this assessment should be a part of the
examination of the chief complaint. Balancing rest and exercise is a reasonable
approach to a complaint of fatigue and shortness of breath if the adult is
deconditioned; however, the nurse must investigate the chief complaint to
determine whether deconditioning is a factor.

The nurse develops a community program to promote exercise for older adults.
Which should the nurse include in the exercise program?

a.Reinforce the ease of exercising every day.

b.Use exercise to relax any dietary restrictions.

c.Describe ways to resume exercise after lapses.

d.Participate because exercise achieves wellness. - Correct Answer- ANS: C

Because the path to wellness includes progression, as well as regression, the nurse
shares information to help participants anticipate these events. The nurse
encourages participants by telling them to expect periods of regression; he or she
emphasizes that progress made up to a point is not lost and explains how to
approach resumption in progress toward wellness with exercise.

The nurse tells the participants that achieving wellness takes work and regular
effort. Rather than offering false hope, the nurse shares practical advice about how
to incorporate exercise into everyday life. The nurse avoids suggesting that adults
can look forward to relaxing dietary or medical restrictions by using a single
method; it is unethical to offer false hope, the plan can be ineffective, and the plan
can have adverse effects. The nurse avoids instructing adults to rely on one method
of achieving wellness; wellness is achieved by balancing emotional, spiritual, social,
cultural, and physical processes.
