Chapter 5: Chronic Illness and Older Adults
Test Bank

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. When caring for an older patient with hypertension who has been hospitalized after a transient
ischemic (TIA), which topic is the most important for the nurse to include in the discharge
teaching?
a. Effect of atherosclerosis on blood vessels
b. Mechanism of action of anticoagulant drug therapy
c. Symptoms indicating that the patient should contact the health care provider
d. Impact of the patient’s family history on likelihood of developing a serious stroke
ANS: C
One of the tasks for patients with chronic illnesses is to prevent and manage a crisis. The
patient needs instruction on recognition of symptoms of hypertension and TIA and
appropriate actions to take if these symptoms occur. The other information also may be
included in patient teaching but is not as essential in the patient’s self-management of the
illness.

2. The nurse performs a comprehensive geriatric assessment of a patient who is being assessed
for admission to an assisted living facility. Which question is the most important for the nurse
to ask?
a. “Have you had any recent infections?”
b. “How frequently do you see a doctor?”
c. “Do you have a history of heart disease?”
d. “Are you able to prepare your own meals?”
ANS: D
The patient’s functional abilities, rather than the presence of an acute or chronic illness, are
more useful in determining how well the patient might adapt to an assisted living situation.
The other questions will also provide helpful information but are not as useful in providing a
basis for determining patient needs or for developing interventions for the older patient.

3. An older patient who takes multiple medications for chronic cardiac and pulmonary diseases
is alert and lives with a daughter who works during the day. During a clinic visit, the patient
verbalizes to the nurse that she has a strained relationship with her daughter and does not
enjoy being alone all day. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse assign as the priority for
this patient?
a. Risk for injury related to drug interactions
b. Social isolation related to weakness and fatigue
c. Compromised family coping related to the patient’s many care needs
d. Caregiver role strain related to need to adjust family employment schedule
ANS: A
The patient’s age and multiple medications indicate a risk for injury caused by interactions
between the multiple drugs being taken and a decreased drug metabolism rate. Problems with
social isolation, caregiver role strain, or compromised family coping are not physiologic
priorities. Drug-drug interactions could cause the most harm to the patient and is therefore the
priority.

4. The nurse plans to complete a thorough assessment of an older patient. Which method should
the nurse use to gather the most complete information?
a. Use a geriatric assessment instrument to evaluate the patient.
b. Ask the patient to write down medical problems and medications.
c. Interview both the patient and the primary caregiver for the patient.
d. Review the patient’s medical record for a history of medical problems.
ANS: A
The most complete information about the patient will be obtained through the use of an
assessment instrument specific to the geriatric population, which includes information about
both medical diagnoses and treatments and about functional health patterns and abilities. A
review of the medical record, interviews with the patient and caregiver, and written
information by the patient are all included in a comprehensive geriatric assessment.

TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

5. An older patient is hospitalized with pneumonia. Which intervention should the nurse
implement to provide optimal care for this patient?
a. Use a standardized geriatric nursing care plan.
b. Minimize activity level during hospitalization.
c. Plan for transfer to a long-term care facility upon discharge.
d. Consider the preadmission functional abilities when setting patient goals.
ANS: D
The plan of care for older adults should be individualized and based on the patient’s current
functional abilities. A standardized geriatric nursing care plan will not address individual
patient needs and strengths. A patient’s need for discharge to a long-term care facility is
variable. Activity level should be designed to allow the patient to retain functional abilities
while hospitalized and also to allow any additional rest needed for recovery from the acute
process.

6. The nurse cares for an older adult patient who lives in a rural area. Which intervention should
the nurse plan to implement to best meet this patient’s needs?
a. Suggest that the patient move to an urban area.
b. Assess the patient for chronic diseases that are unique to rural areas.
c. Ensure transportation to appointments with the health care provider.
d. Obtain adequate medications for the patient to last for 4 to 6 months.
ANS: C
Transportation can be a barrier to accessing health services in rural areas. The patient living in
a rural area may lose the benefits of a familiar situation and social support by moving to an
urban area. There are no chronic diseases unique to rural areas. Because medications may
change, the nurse should help the patient plan for obtaining medications through alternate
means such as the mail or delivery services, not by purchasing large quantities of the
medications.

TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance

7. Which nursing action will be most helpful in decreasing the risk for drug-drug interactions in
an older adult?
a. Teach the patient to have all prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy.
b. Instruct the patient to avoid taking over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
c. Make a schedule for the patient as a reminder of when to take each medication.
d. Have the patient bring all medications, supplements, and herbs to each
appointment.
ANS: D
The most information about drug use and possible interactions is obtained when the patient
brings all prescribed medications, OTC medications, and supplements to every health care
appointment. The patient should discuss the use of any OTC medications with the health care
provider and obtain all prescribed medications from the same pharmacy, but use of
supplements and herbal medications also need to be considered in order to prevent drug-drug
interactions. Use of a medication schedule will help the patient take medications as scheduled
but will not prevent drug-drug interactions.

TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity

8. A patient who has just moved to a long-term care facility has a nursing diagnosis of relocation
stress syndrome. Which action should the nurse include in the plan of care?
a. Remind the patient that making changes is usually stressful.
b. Discuss the reason for the move to the facility with the patient.
c. Restrict family visits until the patient is accustomed to the facility.
d. Have staff members write notes welcoming the patient to the facility.
ANS: D
 Having staff members write notes will make the patient feel more welcome and comfortable at
the long-term care facility. Discussing the reason for the move and reminding the patient that
change is usually stressful will not decrease the patient’s stress about the move. Family
member visits will decrease the patient’s sense of stress about the relocation.

9. An older patient complains of having “no energy” and feeling increasingly weak. The patient
has had a 12-pound weight loss over the last year. Which action should the nurse take
initially?
a. Ask the patient about daily dietary intake.
b. Schedule regular range-of-motion exercise.
c. Discuss long-term care placement with the patient.
d. Describe normal changes associated with aging to the patient.
ANS: A
In a frail older patient, nutrition is frequently compromised, and the nurse’s initial action
should be to assess the patient’s nutritional status. Active range of motion may be helpful in
improving the patient’s strength and endurance, but nutritional assessment is the priority
because the patient has had a significant weight loss. The patient may be a candidate for long-
term care placement, but more assessment is needed before this can be determined. The
patient’s assessment data are not consistent with normal changes associated with aging.

10. The nurse admits an acutely ill, older patient to the hospital. Which action should the nurse
take first?
a. Speak slowly and loudly while facing the patient.
b. Obtain a detailed medical history from the patient.
c. Perform the physical assessment before interviewing the patient.
d. Ask a family member to go home and retrieve the patient’s cane.
ANS: C
When a patient is acutely ill, the physical assessment should be accomplished first to detect
any physiologic changes that require immediate action. Not all older patients have hearing
deficits, and it is insensitive of the nurse to speak loudly and slowly to all older patients. To
avoid tiring the patient, much of the medical history can be obtained from medical records.
After the initial physical assessment to determine the patient’s current condition, then the
nurse could ask someone to obtain any assistive devices for the patient if applicable.

11. The nurse cares for an alert, homeless older adult patient who was admitted to the hospital
with a chronic foot infection. Which intervention is the most appropriate for the nurse to
include in the discharge plan for this patient?
a. Refer the patient to social services for further assessment.
 b. Teach the patient how to assess and care for the foot infection.
c. Schedule the patient to return to outpatient services for foot care.
d. Give the patient written information about shelters and meal sites.
ANS: A
An interdisciplinary approach, including social services, is needed when caring for homeless
older adults. Even with appropriate teaching, a homeless individual may not be able to
maintain adequate foot care because of a lack of supplies or a suitable place to accomplish
care. Older homeless individuals are less likely to use shelters or meal sites. A homeless
person may fail to keep appointments for outpatient services because of factors such as fear of
institutionalization or lack of transportation.

12. The home health nurse cares for an older adult patient who lives alone and takes several
different prescribed medications for chronic health problems. Which intervention, if
implemented by the nurse, would best encourage medication compliance?
a. Use a marked pillbox to set up the patient’s medications.
b. Discuss the option of moving to an assisted living facility.
c. Remind the patient about the importance of taking medications.
d. Visit the patient daily to administer the prescribed medications.
ANS: A
Because forgetting to take medications is a common cause of medication errors in older
adults, the use of medication reminder devices is helpful when older adults have multiple
medications to take. There is no indication that the patient needs to move to assisted living or
that the patient does not understand the importance of medication compliance. Home health
care is not designed for the patient who needs ongoing assistance with activities of daily living
(ADLs) or instrumental ADLs (IADLs).

13. The home health nurse visits an older patient with mild forgetfulness. The nurse is most
concerned if which information is obtained?
a. The patient tells the nurse that a close friend recently died.
b. The patient has lost 10 pounds (4.5 kg) during the last month.
c. The patient is cared for by a daughter during the day and stays with a son at night.
d. The patient’s son uses a marked pillbox to set up the patient’s medications weekly.
ANS: B
A 10-pound weight loss may be an indication of elder neglect or depression and requires
further assessment by the nurse. The use of a marked pillbox and planning by the family for
24-hour care are appropriate for this patient. It is not unusual that an 86-year-old would have
friends who have died.

14. Which statement, if made by an older adult patient, would be of most concern to the nurse?
a. “I prefer to manage my life without much help from other people.”

This book was written in a period when many words had not become
standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling
variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text.

Asterisms are displayed thus: ⁂ . Final stops missing at the end of

sentences and abbreviations were added. Duplicate words at line endings
or page breaks were removed. When used to preserve space in the
original, lower case letters were replaced with capital letters, and the
word “by” was added, where omitted. Misspelled book titles and
authors’ names were corrected.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project

Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without

widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project

Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network
of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed

editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
