3. An Older Adult Has Recently Begun To Display Unprecedented Lapses In Short-Term
Memory. The Nurse Overhears A Colleague Reassuring The Person By Saying, "Try Not
To Worry; It's Just A Part Of Growing Older." The Nurse Recognizes That This Is An
Example Of What Phenomenon?
A) Multiple Jeopardy
B) Gerontophobia
C) Age Attribution
D) Implicit Ageism
ANS: C
Feedback:
Age Attribution Is The Act Of Attributing A Problem To Age Rather Than To A
Pathology, As In The Colleague's Statement. Multiple Jeopardy Is The Compounding Of
Discrimination Based On Factors Such As Race And Gender, While Gerontophobia Is
The Fear Or Hatred Of Older People. Implicit Ageism Is The Unrecognized, Negative
Perception Of Older People.

, 4. A Nurse Hears A Colleague Make The Statement, "Most Older Adults Have Nothing
To Worry About Financially." Which Of The Following Responses Is Most Appropriate?
A) "You Have To Remember That There's A Huge Economic Disparity Among Older
Adults."
B) "Actually, The Number Of Older People Living Below The Poverty Line Has Been
Increasing, Not Decreasing."
C) "This Isn't Really True Now, But It Is True That The Gaps That Disadvantaged
Groups Live With Are Expected To Shrink."
D) "This Is True For Some Groups, But Not For Minorities Who Are Less Likely To Be
Living With Their Relatives."
ANS: A
Feedback:
An Important Consideration With Regard To Economic Conditions Of Older Adults Is
The Tremendous Range In Financial Status, Which Varies Significantly According To
Race, Gender, And Living Arrangements. The Number Of Adults Living Below The
Poverty Line, However, Has Decreased In Recent Years. The Disparities That Separate
Disadvantaged Groups From More Economically Secure Older Adults Are Predicted To
Persist. Minorities Are More Likely, Not Less Likely, To Be Living With Their
Relatives.
