MULTIPLE CHOICE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ANS: C
The most significant influence in enhancing the specialty of gerontological nursing has been
the work of The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing, established in 1996 and funded by
the John A. Hartford Foundation. Only recently has gerontological nursing content begun to
appear in nursing school curricula. Most nursing schools still do not have such courses. At
present, no minimum requirements exist for the coverage of care of older adults.

c. Inform family members about strict visiting hours.
d. Facilitate family rituals related to death and dying.
ANS: D
To promote comfort and dignity, the nurse facilitates the enactment of family wishes, rituals,
or religious practices related to death and dying. To promote comfort, the gerontological nurse
administers medications as prescribed and avoids restricting analgesic agents to clients,
regardless of the setting or the nurse\u2019s personal views. Although fostering independence is
within the scope of the gerontological nursing practice, the nurse should assess the older adult
and family before assuming that he will want or be able to perform self-care. Although
hospice can have regular visiting hours, the older adult may need his family at the bedside for
comfort, strength, or companionship. Thus to provide comfort and promote dignity, the
gerontological nurse adapts visiting hours to suit the older adult\u2019s needs.
