2. 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.
C. Gender.
D. Functional Status.
ANS> D
, Maintaining The Functional Status Of Older Adults May Avert The Onset Of Physical Frailty And Cognitive
Impairment, Two Conditions That Increase The Likelihood Of Institutionalization.
3. 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.
