Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Best practices include providing a stand-alone gerontological nursing course as well as integrating gerontology throughout the curriculum. Recruitment of nurses with a specialty in gerontology and a Masters or Doctoral degree to faculty roles is a critical step in making sure that the next generation of nurses is prepared to care for older adults. Best practices do not recommend re-moving pediatric clinical experiences and replacing them with gerontological experiences. Nurs-ing certification is only available to practicing nurses who meet specific education and practice requirements. It is not applicable to nursing students.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The goal of NICHE is to improve outcomes for hospitalized older adults. Although D is a good outcome for hospitalized older adults, it is not one of the major goals of NICHE, which are broader. Options b and c are not goals that would improve care for older adults, but would be negative outcomes themselves.
