Chapter 1 Seeing Older Adults Through the Eyes of Wellness
f f f f f f f f f f




1. In 2010, the revised Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice was published.
f f f f f f f f f f f f



The nurse would use these standards to:
f f f f f f f




a. promote the practice of gerontologic nursing within the acute care setting.
f f f f f f f f f f




b. define the concepts and dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice.
f f f f f f f f




c. elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing. f f f f f




d. incorporate suggested interventions from others who practice gerontologic f f f f f f f


nursing.

ANS: D f




The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in 2010
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



incorporates the input of gerontologic nurses from across the United States. It was not intendedto
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



f promote gerontologic nursing practice within acute care settings, define concepts or dimensions
f f f f f f f f f f f



of gerontologic nursing practice, or elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.

2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



nurse needs to first:
f f f f




a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.f f f f f f f f f




b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
f f f f f f f f f f


nursing care.
f f




c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
f f f f f f f f f f f




d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.f f f f f f f f f f




ANS: C f

,Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



f that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings
f f f f f f f f f f f f



f will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



f important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



f recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry. f f f f f f

3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:
f f f f f f f




a. increased availability of in-home care services. f f f f f




b. government support of retired citizens. f f f f




c. effective antibiotic therapies. f f




d. the development of life-extending therapies.
f f f f




ANS: C f




The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



f development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
f f f f f f f f f f f



f been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than
f f f f f f f f f f f f



have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

4. Based on current data, when presenting an older adults discharge teaching plan, the nurse
f f f f f f f f f f f f f



includes the patients:
f f f




a. nonrelated caretaker. f




b. paid caregiver. f

, c. family member. f




d. intuitional representative. f




ANS: C f




Less than 4% of older adults live in a formal health care environment. The majority of the
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



geriatric population lives at home or with family members.

5. The nurse planning care for an older adult who has recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



arthritis views the priority criterion for continued independence to be the patients:
f f f f f f f f f f f f




a. age.
b. financial status. f




c. gender.
d. functional status. f




ANS: D f




Maintaining the functional status of older adults may avert the onset of physical frailty and
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f



cognitive impairment, two conditions that increase the likelihood of institutionalization.
