a. Influenza epidemic of 1918 gg gg gg
b. Immigration from Communist Europe gg gg gg

5. A nurse prepares for the arrival of older persons evacuated from a forest fire in

priority nursing intervention?

d. Help older persons to teach one another a new skill in the shelter.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
ANS: g g B
Feedback
A Incorrect. Providing safety and security from the fire is evident and implied,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
as the older persons have been evacuated from danger. The priority
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
nursing intervention is caring for any health concerns; e.g., medication or
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
treatments that were left behind.
gg gg gg gg gg
B Correct. The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
the older persons, and this intervention helps to maintain the therapeutic
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
plan, thereby addressing the need for physiological integrity. Furthermore,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
the nurse

maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent

missed doses of medication.

C Incorrect. In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to

safety, security, and physical well-being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
important, but not in emergency conditions.
gg gg gg gg gg gg
D Incorrect. A state of emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem because

meeting safety, security, and physical needs is more important.

of the following should the nurse include in the exercise program?

b. Use exercise to relax any dietary restrictions.
gg gg gg gg gg gg
c. Describe ways to resume exercise after lapses. gg gg gg gg gg gg
d. Teach participants that exercise achieves wellness.
gg gg gg gg gg
ANS: g g C
Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse tells the participants that achieving wellness takes work
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
and regular effort. Instead of offering false hope, the nurse shares practical
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
advice about how to incorporate exercise into everyday life.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
B Incorrect. The nurse avoids suggesting that older persons can look
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
forward to relaxing dietary or medical restrictions by using a single
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
method because it is unethical to offer false hope, the plan can be
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
ineffective, and the plan can have
gg gg gg gg gg gg
adverse effects. gg
C Correct. Because the path to wellness includes progression as well as
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
regression, the nurse shares information to help participants anticipate these
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
events. The nurse encourages participants by telling them to expect periods
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
of regression, that progress made up to that point is not lost, and how to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
approach resumption in progress toward wellness with exercise.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
D Incorrect. The nurse avoids instructing older persons to rely on one method
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
of achieving wellness because wellness is achieved by balancing
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg
emotional, spiritual, social, cultural, and physical processes.
