d. Since the year 2000. s s s




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
s



REASONING:->>>Only in the past 60 years have serious and carefully controlled s s s s s s s s s s




research studies flourished. Before that, anecdotal evidence was used to illustrate
s s s s s s s s s s s




issues assumed tobe universal, making all the remaining options incorrect.

2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant: “What
s s s s s s s s s s s



s is the significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that you are,
s s s s s s s s s s s s s



sbut not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best answers the family
s s s s s s s s s s s s s



smember’s question? s



a. “National certification as a gerontological nursing attendant is a s s s s s s s s




wayto demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
s s s s s s s s s s



adults.”
b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing s s s s s s s s




attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more
s s s s s s s s s s




years.” s



c. “National certification is only available to nursing attendants s s s s s s s




who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
s s s s s s s s



d. “Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like nursing
s s s s s s



attendant practitioners, are certified in gerontology.”
s s s s s




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
s



REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special expertise s s s s s s s s




in caring for older adults. It is not required for practice in any setting across the
s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s



continuum of care, and it is not exclusive to nursing attendants with
s s s s s s s s s s s



Baccalaureate degrees. There is both a generalist and a specialist gerontological
s s s s s s s s s s



nursing certification. The generalist functions in a variety of settings providing
s s s s s s s s s s



care to older adults and their families. The specialist has advanced gerontological
s s s s s s s s s s s s



education at a master’s level.
