ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A

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


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

2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant:
v v v v v v v v v v


v “What is the significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that
v v v v v v v v v v v v


vyou are, but not all of the nursing attendants are.” What response best
v v v v v v v v v v v v


vanswers the family member’s question? v v v v


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


way to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
v v v v v v v v v v


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


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


years.”
v


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


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


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


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




ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
v


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


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


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


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


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


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


gerontological education at a master’s level.
