Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Intervening in clients' family relationships that have become dysfunctional or estranged is not an identified action of practice by a gerontological nurse. Addressing pain, helping explore deeper meanings of experiences, and providing care are aspects of care provided by the gerontological nurse.
