Answer to Question 1

C
One of the challenges and priorities of the gerontologic nurse is helping patients maintain their independence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Certification is voluntary and shows that a nurse has additional knowledge and expertise in a certain area of practice. It is not mandatory in specific care settings. It does not allow for third-party reimbursement. It may be part of a career ladder program, but that is not true of all work settings.
