2. A nurse is planning care for a group of super-
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
centenarians in an assisted living facility. The nurse considers which of the following? ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju ju ju
a. Most super- ju

3. One reason why many “baby boomers” have multiple chronic conditions such as heart disease, di
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u
abetes, and arthritis is that: ju ju ju ju
a. they have less access to medication and other treatment regimens. ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u
eywere children. ju ju
,d. they grew up in an era of rampant poverty and malnutrition.

The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
WWII, have better access to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. Theyhave ha
ju ju ju j u ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
d the benefit of the development of immunizations against communicable diseases. They grew up
ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
in an era of prosperitypost-
ju ju ju ju j u ju
WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now consider healthy living w
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju
hen they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned, but was considered a symbol o
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju ju ju
f status. Candy in the shape of cigarettes was popular, and there was much secondhand smoke.

lans to provide education on the importance of immunizations, annual physical examinations, sc
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju
reening for diabetes, and vision and hearing screening. It is important for the nurse to understand

rvices
b. Preventive strategies are more widely used in the 40- ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
64 age group than in the 65 and over age group ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju
c. The research on health promotion strategies in older adults demonstrates that they ha
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u
ve low efficacy ju ju
d. There is an abundance of research specific to health promotion and aging ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju
ANS: A juj u
Approximately 40% of individuals, ages 65 and older, utilize the preventive services that are avail ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u
able to them. However, only 24% of those between the ages of 40 and 64 do so. There is a paucity o

ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju
e, which is an example of promoting functional wellness. Receiving recommended screening is a
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju
n example of promoting biological wellness. The use of a rolling walker should be based on asses
ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju ju j u ju ju ju ju ju
sment of physical ability. Encouraging the client to attend weekly chess games is an example of p
