Principles .of .Primary .Care .of .Older .Adults


Chapter .1.
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.

RIGHT .ANSWER:
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 .Amerians.
RIGHT .ANSWER: .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 .answer, .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.
RIGHT .ANSWER: .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 . .

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.

d. functional
.status..RIGHT
.ANSWER: .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.

.financial.social .services .referral .for .a(n):
a. white .male.
b. black .female.
c. Hispanic .male.

7. Which .of .the .following .statements .made .by .a .nurse .preparing .to .complete .a .health
.assessment.and .history .on .an .older .patient .reflects .an .understanding .of .the .general .health
.status .of .this .population?
a. Ill .need .to .document .well .regarding .the .medications .the .patient .is .currently .prescribed.
b. I .would .like .to .understand .how .supportive .the .patients .family .members .are.
c. Most .older .patients .are .being .treated .for .a .variety .of .chronic .health .care .issues.
d. It .will .be .interesting .to .see .whether .this .patient .sees .herself .as .being .healthy.
RIGHT .ANSWER: .D
It .is .a .misconception .that .old .age .is .synonymous .with .disease .and .illness. .The .nurse .should
.always .determine .the .patients .sense .of .wellness .and .independence .when .conducting .a .health
.and.history .assessment. .An .assessment .of .medication .use .and .family .support .is .important .for
.any .patient. .Many .older .adults .do .have .chronic .health .conditions, .but .their .perception .is
.more .important .than .a .single .number.

a. Acute .care .facilities .lack .the .long-term .physical .therapy .support .your .dad .requires.

c. The .subacute .facility .will .focus .on .helping .your .dad .maintain .his
.independence..d. .Insurance, .including .Medicare, .will .cover .only .a .limited
.amount .of .time .here.
RIGHT .ANSWER: .C
The .trright .answerfer .of .the .patient .to .a .subacute .facility .is .based .on .the .need .to .maintain
.the .patients .level .of .function .and .independence, .a .task .the .acute .care .facility .is .not .prepared
