, UNIT ONE: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE
CHAPTER 1. PRINCIPLES OF PRIMARY CARE OF OLDER ADULTS
MULTIPLE CHOICE

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.
CORRECT ANS>> D

DEFINE CONCEPTS OR DIMENSIONS OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING PRACTICE, OR ELEVATE THE PRACTICE
OF GERONTOLOGIC NURSING.

ENVIRONMENT
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.
CORRECT 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.
