A graduate nurse is nervous about caring for older adult patients because of the personality changes that occur with aging. How should the nurse's preceptor respond to this statement?
 
  1. Personality is relatively stable throughout life.
  2. The losses many elderly experience understandably will impact their personality.
  3. The personalities of the elderly do undergo some significant changes after the eighth decade of life.
  4. After retirement, feelings of disuse cause many elderly to begin demonstrating personality changes.

Question 2

When a resum reflects too many job changes, the employer may question it. It is best to remain at the first place of employment for at least:
 
  a. 6 months.
  b. 3 months.
  c. 1 year.
  d. 2 years.

Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Personality is stable throughout adult life and rarely do healthy older people show signs of personality change during their final years.

Answer to Question 2

C
Resigning from a position properly is another skill that the LPN/LVN will need to have. Employers will sometimes question a resum that reflects frequent job changes; therefore, it is best to remain at the first place of employment at least 1 year.
