Kennedy-Malone
Advanced Practice Nursing in the Care of Older Adults, 2e
Chapter 1 Changes With Aging
Multiple Choice
1. Mrs. Smith, 75 years old, reports that she is weak, has difficulty urinating, and is dehydrated.
Although she is afebrile, the nurse conducts a thorough physical examination, including
urinalysis and complete blood count (CBC). The total assessment is necessary because:
1. All body systems interact, and symptoms could indicate a variety of diagnoses.
2. The symptoms are vague and may be signs of aging.
3. There may be other signs or symptoms more indicative of the condition.
4. Mrs. Smith may not be reporting all significant information.
2. A patient with renal disease has blood work drawn, and the results show an increase in serum
creatinine. The nurse practitioner needs to know which of the following laboratory values before
ordering medications?
1. CBC
2. Culture and sensitivity of the urine
3. Creatinine clearance
4. Uric acid levels
3. Which of the following statements is true regarding diagnostic testing?
1. A test is ordered for a specific purpose.
2. A test is the most invasive available.
3. There is no need to discuss results with the patient.
4. If a test is needed, it should be ordered regardless of risk to the patient.
4. Janey, 25 years old, may experience arthritis differently than 65-year-old Mrs. Johnson
because:
1. The body undergoes physiological changes with aging.
2. A healthy body does not experience significant changes as one gets older.
3. Older patients do not feel any systemic symptoms, such as malaise and weight loss.
4. Even though the same joints are usually affected, age makes it feel different.
5. The nurse practitioner is examining an 85-year-old man with reports of abdominal pain,
weakness, and loss of appetite. Which is the most likely condition to be tested for and ruled out?
1. Neoplasms and carcinomas
2. Partial seizure
3. Sarcopenia
4. Hirschsprung’s disease
