Some nursing students are doing their first clinical rotation in a long-term care facility. What should the nurse educator remind the students to do to meet the needs of this particular client group?
 
  1. Do all care for the clients, as they're unable to do it independently.
  2. Always remember that the clients' self-respect must be maintained in all interactions of the students.
  3. Make sure the clients' care is done in a timely manner, and sometimes that means doing things for the client.
  4. Treat this group of clients with a greater level of respect than younger clients.

Question 2

When consulting Erikson's developmental theory, the nurse determines that which older adult will have the least difficulty being successful with the task of this stage?
 
  1. A client who felt success through her children's accomplishments

  3. A client who maintained a balance between work and home
  4. A client who planned to really enjoy life once she retired

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: There is much diversity among older clients, and nurses should be wary of stereotyping this group.
Rationale 2: Older people appreciate the same thoughtfulness, consideration, and acceptance of their abilities as younger people do.
Rationale 3: The aging client may be slower and less meticulous in many activities, and many young people err in thinking they are helpful to older people when they take over for them and do the job much faster and more efficiently. This is an unprofessional belief and disregards the client's right to autonomy and independence.
Rationale 4: This is not a practice that a nurse educator would encourage because all clients, regardless of age, are treated respectfully.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Those who have been concerned only with the accomplishments of their children can be left with a feeling of emptiness when the children leave.
Rationale 2: People who have been concerned only with the paycheck and their job status can be left with a feeling of emptiness when the job no longer exists.
Rationale 3: People who learned early in life to live well-balanced and fulfilling lives are generally more successful in retirement.
Rationale 4: People who attempt suddenly to refocus and enrich their lives at retirement usually have difficulty.
