1.A nurse is discussing an older adult's recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis with a
colleague. Which of the nurse's statements reflects an accurate view of the
relationship between aging and wellness?
A) "It's important that the individual knows this is an expected part of growing older."
B) "We need to teach the older adult how he can keep living a fruitful life in spite
of his diagnosis."
C) "We need to make sure our teaching is not too detailed for someone of his age."
D) "We need to ensure his expectations of continuing to live alone are
realistic." Ans: B
Feedback:
Answer B reflects a desire to foster a fulfilling and productive life for the older adult
despite his diagnosis, and reflects an understanding of wellness and aging. Option A
implies that illness is an inevitability of aging. Option C suggests that older adults have a
limited capacity to learn by virtue of their age, and option D implies pessimism about the
health and functioning of the older adult.

2.A nurse is teaching an older person about the concept of successful aging. Which of
the nurse's questions addresses an important contributor to successful aging?
A) "Are you largely free of acute or chronic illnesses?"
B) "Do you feel financially secure?"
C) "Do you feel like you actively engage with life?"
D) "Do you have a reliable support
network?" Ans: C
Feedback:
Research has indicated that an active engagement with life is central to successful and
healthy aging. Absence of illness, financial security, and the nature of a person's
support network are not identified components of successful aging.

3.An older adult has recently begun to display unprecedented lapses in short-term
memory. The nurse overhears a colleague reassuring the person by saying, "Try not to
worry; it's just a part of growing older." The nurse recognizes that this is an example of
what phenomenon?
A) Multiple jeopardy
B) Gerontophobia
C) Age attribution
D) Implicit ageism
Ans: C
Feedback:
Age attribution is the act of attributing a problem to age rather than to a pathology, as in
the colleague's statement. Multiple jeopardy is the compounding of discrimination
based on factors such as race and gender, while gerontophobia is the fear or hatred of
older
