Touhy & Jett: Ebersole and Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging, 5th Edition (NEWEST 2024)

MULTIPLE CHOICE

wellness?

b. Wellness is not a real option for this client because he is terminally ill.
c. Wellness is defined as the absence of disease.
d. Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness.

ANS: D
Nursing interventions can help empower a client to achieve a higher level of wellness; a nurse can foster wellness in his or
her clients. Wellness is defined by the individual and is multidimensional. It is not just the absence of disease. A wellness
perspective is based on the belief that every person has an optimal level of health independent of his or her situation or
functional level. Even in the presence of chronic illness or while dying, a movement toward wellness is possible if
emphasis of care is placed on the promotion of well-being in a supportive environment.

Chapter 02: Cross-Cultural Caring and Aging
Touhy & Jett: Ebersole and Gerontological Nursing & Healthy Aging, 5th
Edition

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. Which of the following is a true statement about differing health belief systems?
a. Personalistic or magicoreligious beliefs have been superseded in Western minds by biomedical principles.
b. In most cultures, older adults are likely to treat themselves using traditional methods before
turning to biomedical professionals.
c. Ayurvedic medicine is another name for traditional Chinese medicine.
d. The belief that health depends on maintaining a balance among opposite qualities is characteristic of a
magicoreligious belief system.

ANS: B
Older adults in most cultures usually have had experience with traditional methods that have worked as well as expected.
After these treatments fail, older adults turn to the formal health care system. Even in the United States, it is common for
older adults to pray for cures or wonder what they did to incur an illness as punishment. The Ayurvedic system is a
naturalistic health belief system practiced in India and in some neighboring countries. This belief is characteristic of a
holistic or naturalistic approach.

2. Which of the following considU

ely to be true when working with an interpreter?
a. An interpreter is never needed if the nurse speaks the same language as the patient.
b. When working with interpreters, the nurse can use technical terms or metaphors.
c. A young granddaughter who speaks fluent English would make the best
interpreter because she is familiar with and loves the patient.
d. The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter.

ANS: D
The nurse should face the patient rather than the interpreter is a true statement; the intent is to converse with the patient,
not with a third party about the patient. Many reasons may prevent the patient from speaking directly to a nurse.
Technical terms and metaphors may be difficult or impossible to translate. Cultural restrictions may prevent some topics
from being spoken of to a grandparent or child.

3. An older adult who is a traditional Chinese man has a blood pressure of 80/54 mm Hg and refuses to remain in the bed.

d. Consult with a practitioner of Chinese medicine.

ANS: C
Using the LEARN model (l explain your perception of the
problem, acknowledge the differences and similarities, recommend treatment, and negotiate agreement), the nurse
gathers information from the patient about cultural beliefs concerning health care and avoids stereotyping the patient. In
the assessment, the nurse determines what the patient believes about caregiving, decision making, treatment, and other
pertinent health-related information. Speaking with the health care provider is premature until the assessment is
complete. Unless he accepts the beliefs, principles of the holistic health system can be potentially unsuitable and insulting
for this patient. Unless he accepts the treatments, consulting with a practitioner of Chinese medicine can also be
unsuitable and insulting for this patient.

4. Which action should the nurse take when addressing older adults?
a. Speak in an exaggerated pitch.
b. Use a lower quality of speech.
c. Use endearing terms such as
d. Speak clearly.

ANS: D
Some health professionals demonstrate ageism, in part because providers tend to see many frail, older persons and fewer
of those who are healthy and active. Providers should not assume that all older adults are hearing or mentally impaired.

learly. Examples of unintentional ageism in language are an exaggerated

5. The nurse prepares an older woman, who is Polish, for discharge through an interpreter and notes that she becomes
tense during the instructions about elimination. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
a. Move on to the discussion about medication.
b. Ask the older woman how she feels about this topic.
c. Instruct the interpreter to repeat the instructions.
d. Have the older woman repeat the instructions for clarity.

ANS: B
When working with an interpreter, the nurse closely watches the older adult for nonverbal communication and emotion

Because the nurse notices her tension, the nurse temporarily suspends the preparation to validate her assessment. If the
nurse proceeds and the older adult is uncomfortable discussing elimination, then important instructions can be missed,
leading to adverse effects for the older adult. Repeating the instructions
