,CHAPTER 1. PRINCIPLES OF PRIMARY CARE OF OLDER ADULTS

MULTIPLE CHOICE

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

The nurse would use these standards to:

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 gerontologic nursing. ANS:

D

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

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

to 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, a

nurse 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 requiring nursing 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. DIF:
