Eliopoulos, C. (2018). Gerontological Nursing
Chapters 8, 9, 15, 20, 24, 31 Questions And
Answers

1. A nurse caring for older adult patients shows an understanding of the implementation of

standards of care when:

a. dialing the telephone when the patient wants to call his daughter.

b. requesting the patients favorite dessert on his birthday.

c. closing the patients door when he is praying.


d. reminding the patient to call for assistance before getting out of bed. D


A standard of care is a guideline for nursing practice and establishes an expectation for the nurse

to provide safe and appropriate care, such as reminding the patient to call for assistance before

getting out of bed. Standards of care may be established on national or regional levels. Dialing

the phone for the patient, closing the patients door, and requesting a special dessert are not

actions that conform to standards of care.

2. A nurse new to geriatric nursing asks the nurse manager to clarify how to handle a patients

claim that she has been physically abused. The nurse manager responds most appropriately when

stating:

a. Ill show you where you can find this states reporting requirements.

b. As a nurse you are considered a mandated reporter of elder abuse.

c. As long as you are reasonably sure abuse has occurred, report it.


d. You need to report any such claims directly to me. A


To be responsive to the legal obligation to report reasonably suspicious acts of abuse and

because there is great variation among the states, nurses should determine the specific reporting

requirements of their jurisdictions, including where reports and complaints are received and in

what form they must be made. The statements that the nurse is a mandatory reporter and that

abuse should be reported if suspected are true, but they do not help the nurse learn to handle the

complaint. The manager may want to know about claims of abuse and it may be facility policy to

report up the chain of command, but the nurse is responsible for filing the formal complaint.

3. The nurse recognizes that a nursing aide likely to abuse an older patient is one who has:

a. ineffective verbal communication skills.

b. little experience working with the older population.

c. poor stress management skills.

It has been shown that the primary abusers of nursing facility residents are nurse aides and

orderlies who have never received training in stress management.

4. An older adult resident of a long-term care nursing facility frequently attempts to get out of

bed and is at risk of sustaining an injury. The nurses planned intervention to minimize the

, Eliopoulos, C. (2018). Gerontological Nursing
Chapters 8, 9, 15, 20, 24, 31 Questions And
Answers
patients risk for injury is guided by:

a. the patients right to self-determination and to be free to get out of bed.

b. an understanding that nondrug interventions must be tried before medications.

c. the knowledge that application of a vest restraint requires a physicians order.


d. the patients cognitive ability to understand and follow directions. B


The drug use guidelines are based on the principles that certain problems can be handled with

nondrug interventions and that such forms of treatment must be ruled out before drug therapy is

initiated. The patient does have the right to self-determination, but the staff must ensure the

patients safety. Vest restraints do require an order, but environmental measures must be tried

before chemical or physical restraints. The patients cognitive abilities do not allow for unjustified

physical or chemical restraints.
