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.
ANS: 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 one’s 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.

3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older Americans, 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.
ANS: 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 than have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.
