Chapter 1 Seeing Older Adults Through the Eyes of Wellness

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

a. promote the practice of gerontologic nursing within the acute care setting.
b. define the concepts and dimensions of gerontologic nursing practice.
c. elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.
d. incorporate suggested interventions from others who practice gerontologicnursing.


ANS:

The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in 2010incorporates
the input of gerontologic nurses from across the United States. It was not intendedto promote gerontologic
nursing practice within acute care settings, define concepts or dimensions 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, anurse needs
to first:

a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiringnursing
care.
c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.


ANS: C

,Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older
population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical
that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings
will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is
an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor
does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:

a. increased availability of in-home care services.
b. government support of retired citizens.
c. effective antibiotic therapies.
d. the development of life-extending therapies.


ANS: C

The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than
have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.

ANS: C

Less than 4% of older adults live in a formal health care environment. The majority of the
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
arthritis views the priority criterion for continued independence to be the patients:

a. age.
b. financial status.

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