Answer to Question 1

D
The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in 2010 incorporates the input of gerontologic nurses from across the United States. It was not intended to promote gerontologic nursing practice within acute care settings, define concepts or dimen-sions of gerontologic nursing practice, or elevate the practice of gerontologic nursing.
