Chapter 5: Chronic Illness and Older Adults
Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. When caring for an older patient with hypertension who has been hospitalized after a transient
ischemic (TIA), which topic is the most important for the nurse to include in the discharge
teaching?
a. Effect of atherosclerosis on blood vessels
b. Mechanism of action of anticoagulant drug therapy
c. Symptoms indicating that the patient should contact the health care provider
d. Impact of the patient’s family history on likelihood of developing a serious stroke
ANS: C
One of the tasks for patients with chronic illnesses is to prevent and manage a crisis. The
patient needs instruction on recognition of symptoms of hypertension and TIA and
appropriate actions to take if these symptoms occur. The other information also may be
included in patient teaching but is not as essential in the patient’s self-management of the
illness.

2. The nurse performs a comprehensive geriatric assessment of a patient who is being assessed
for admission to an assisted living facility. Which question is the most important for the nurse
to ask?
a. “Have you had any recent infections?”
b. “How frequently do you see a doctor?”
c. “Do you have a history of heart disease?”
d. “Are you able to prepare your own meals?”
ANS: D
The patient’s functional abilities, rather than the presence of an acute or chronic illness, are
more useful in determining how well the patient might adapt to an assisted living situation.
The other questions will also provide helpful information but are not as useful in providing a
basis for determining patient needs or for developing interventions for the older patient.

3. An older patient who takes multiple medications for chronic cardiac and pulmonary diseases
is alert and lives with a daughter who works during the day. During a clinic visit, the patient
verbalizes to the nurse that she has a strained relationship with her daughter and does not
enjoy being alone all day. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse assign as the priority for
this patient?
a. Risk for injury related to drug interactions
b. Social isolation related to weakness and fatigue
c. Compromised family coping related to the patient’s many care needs
d. Caregiver role strain related to need to adjust family employment schedule
ANS: A
The patient’s age and multiple medications indicate a risk for injury caused by interactions
between the multiple drugs being taken and a decreased drug metabolism rate. Problems with
social isolation, caregiver role strain, or compromised family coping are not physiologic
priorities. Drug-drug interactions could cause the most harm to the patient and is therefore the
priority.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (application) REF: 73-74

TOP: Nursing Process: Diagnosis MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance
4. The nurse plans to complete a thorough assessment of an older patient. Which method should
the nurse use to gather the most complete information?
a. Use a geriatric assessment instrument to evaluate the patient.
b. Ask the patient to write down medical problems and medications.
c. Interview both the patient and the primary caregiver for the patient.
d. Review the patient’s medical record for a history of medical problems.
ANS: A
The most complete information about the patient will be obtained through the use of an
assessment instrument specific to the geriatric population, which includes information about
both medical diagnoses and treatments and about functional health patterns and abilities. A
review of the medical record, interviews with the patient and caregiver, and written
information by the patient are all included in a comprehensive geriatric assessment.

5. An older patient is hospitalized with pneumonia. Which intervention should the nurse
implement to provide optimal care for this patient?
a. Use a standardized geriatric nursing care plan.
b. Minimize activity level during hospitalization.
c. Plan for transfer to a long-term care facility upon discharge.
d. Consider the preadmission functional abilities when setting patient goals.
ANS: D
The plan of care for older adults should be individualized and based on the patient’s current
functional abilities. A standardized geriatric nursing care plan will not address individual
patient needs and strengths. A patient’s need for discharge to a long-term care facility is
variable. Activity level should be designed to allow the patient to retain functional abilities
while hospitalized and also to allow any additional rest needed for recovery from the acute
process.
TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
6. The nurse cares for an older adult patient who lives in a rural area. Which intervention should
the nurse plan to implement to best meet this patient’s needs?
a. Suggest that the patient move to an urban area.
b. Assess the patient for chronic diseases that are unique to rural areas.
c. Ensure transportation to appointments with the health care provider.
d. Obtain adequate medications for the patient to last for 4 to 6 months.
ANS: C
Transportation can be a barrier to accessing health services in rural areas. The patient living in
a rural area may lose the benefits of a familiar situation and social support by moving to an
urban area. There are no chronic diseases unique to rural areas. Because medications may
change, the nurse should help the patient plan for obtaining medications through alternate
means such as the mail or delivery services, not by purchasing large quantities of the
medications.

TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance
7. Which nursing action will be most helpful in decreasing the risk for drug-drug interactions in
an older adult?
a. Teach the patient to have all prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy.
b. Instruct the patient to avoid taking over-the-counter (OTC) medications.
c. Make a schedule for the patient as a reminder of when to take each medication.
d. Have the patient bring all medications, supplements, and herbs to each
appointment.
ANS: D
The most information about drug use and possible interactions is obtained when the patient
brings all prescribed medications, OTC medications, and supplements to every health care
appointment. The patient should discuss the use of any OTC medications with the health care
provider and obtain all prescribed medications from the same pharmacy, but use of
supplements and herbal medications also need to be considered in order to prevent drug-drug
interactions. Use of a medication schedule will help the patient take medications as scheduled
but will not prevent drug-drug interactions.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Understand (comprehension) REF: 74

8. A patient who has just moved to a long-term care facility has a nursing diagnosis of relocation
stress syndrome. Which action should the nurse include in the plan of care?
a. Remind the patient that making changes is usually stressful.
b. Discuss the reason for the move to the facility with the patient.
c. Restrict family visits until the patient is accustomed to the facility.
d. Have staff members write notes welcoming the patient to the facility.
ANS: D
Having staff members write notes will make the patient feel more welcome and comfortable at
the long-term care facility. Discussing the reason for the move and reminding the patient that
change is usually stressful will not decrease the patient’s stress about the move. Family
member visits will decrease the patient’s sense of stress about the relocation.

TOP: Nursing Process: Planning MSC: NCLEX: Psychosocial Integrity
9. An older patient complains of having “no energy” and feeling increasingly weak. The patient
has had a 12-pound weight loss over the last year. Which action should the nurse take
initially?
a. Ask the patient about daily dietary intake.
b. Schedule regular range-of-motion exercise.
c. Discuss long-term care placement with the patient.
d. Describe normal changes associated with aging to the patient.
ANS: A
In a frail older patient, nutrition is frequently compromised, and the nurse’s initial action
should be to assess the patient’s nutritional status. Active range of motion may be helpful in
improving the patient’s strength and endurance, but nutritional assessment is the priority
because the patient has had a significant weight loss. The patient may be a candidate for long-
term care placement, but more assessment is needed before this can be determined. The
patient’s assessment data are not consistent with normal changes associated with aging.

10. The nurse admits an acutely ill, older patient to the hospital. Which action should the nurse
take first?
a. Speak slowly and loudly while facing the patient.
b. Obtain a detailed medical history from the patient.
c. Perform the physical assessment before interviewing the patient.
d. Ask a family member to go home and retrieve the patient’s cane.
ANS: C
When a patient is acutely ill, the physical assessment should be accomplished first to detect
any physiologic changes that require immediate action. Not all older patients have hearing
deficits, and it is insensitive of the nurse to speak loudly and slowly to all older patients. To
avoid tiring the patient, much of the medical history can be obtained from medical records.
After the initial physical assessment to determine the patient’s current condition, then the
nurse could ask someone to obtain any assistive devices for the patient if applicable.

11. The nurse cares for an alert, homeless older adult patient who was admitted to the hospital
with a chronic foot infection. Which intervention is the most appropriate for the nurse to
include in the discharge plan for this patient?
a. Refer the patient to social services for further assessment.
b. Teach the patient how to assess and care for the foot infection.
c. Schedule the patient to return to outpatient services for foot care.
d. Give the patient written information about shelters and meal sites.
ANS: A
An interdisciplinary approach, including social services, is needed when caring for homeless
older adults. Even with appropriate teaching, a homeless individual may not be able to
maintain adequate foot care because of a lack of supplies or a suitable place to accomplish
care. Older homeless individuals are less likely to use shelters or meal sites. A homeless
person may fail to keep appointments for outpatient services because of factors such as fear of
institutionalization or lack of transportation.

TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Safe and Effective Care Environment
12. The home health nurse cares for an older adult patient who lives alone and takes several
different prescribed medications for chronic health problems. Which intervention, if
implemented by the nurse, would best encourage medication compliance?
a. Use a marked pillbox to set up the patient’s medications.
b. Discuss the option of moving to an assisted living facility.
c. Remind the patient about the importance of taking medications.
d. Visit the patient daily to administer the prescribed medications.
ANS: A
Because forgetting to take medications is a common cause of medication errors in older
adults, the use of medication reminder devices is helpful when older adults have multiple
medications to take. There is no indication that the patient needs to move to assisted living or
that the patient does not understand the importance of medication compliance. Home health
care is not designed for the patient who needs ongoing assistance with activities of daily living
(ADLs) or instrumental ADLs (IADLs).

13. The home health nurse visits an older patient with mild forgetfulness. The nurse is most
concerned if which information is obtained?
a. The patient tells the nurse that a close friend recently died.
b. The patient has lost 10 pounds (4.5 kg) during the last month.
c. The patient is cared for by a daughter during the day and stays with a son at night.
d. The patient’s son uses a marked pillbox to set up the patient’s medications weekly.
ANS: B
A 10-pound weight loss may be an indication of elder neglect or depression and requires
further assessment by the nurse. The use of a marked pillbox and planning by the family for
24-hour care are appropriate for this patient. It is not unusual that an 86-year-old would have
friends who have died.

TOP: Nursing Process: Assessment MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
14. Which statement, if made by an older adult patient, would be of most concern to the nurse?
a. “I prefer to manage my life without much help from other people.”
b. “I take three different medications for my heart and joint problems.”
c. “I don’t go on daily walks anymore since I had pneumonia 3 months ago.”
d. “I set up my medications in a marked pillbox so I don’t forget to take them.”
ANS: C
Inactivity and immobility lead rapidly to loss of function in older adults. The nurse should
develop a plan to prevent further deconditioning and restore function for the patient. Self-
management is appropriate for independently living older adults. On average, an older adult
takes seven different medications so the use of three medications is not unusual for this
patient. The use of memory devices to assist with safe medication administration is
recommended for older adults.

15. The nurse assesses an older patient who takes diuretics and has a possible urinary tract
infection (UTI). Which action should the nurse take first?
a. Palpate over the suprapubic area.
b. Inspect for abdominal distention.
c. Question the patient about hematuria.
d. Invite the patient to use the bathroom.
ANS: D
Before beginning the assessment of an older patient with a UTI and on diuretics, the nurse
should have the patient empty the bladder because bladder fullness or discomfort will distract
from the patient’s ability to provide accurate information. The patient may seem disoriented if
distracted by pain or urgency. The physical assessment data are obtained after the patient is as
comfortable as possible.

MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
16. Which patient is most likely to need long-term nursing care management?
a. 72-year-old who had a hip replacement after a fall at home
b. 64-year-old who developed sepsis after a ruptured peptic ulcer
c. 76-year-old who had a cholecystectomy and bile duct drainage
d. 63-year-old with bilateral knee osteoarthritis who weighs 350 lb (159 kg)
ANS: D
Osteoarthritis and obesity are chronic problems that will require planning for long-term
interventions such as physical therapy and nutrition counseling. The other patients have acute
problems that are not likely to require long-term management.

17. When completing an admission assessment on an older adult, the nurse gives the patient a
high fall risk score. Which action should the nurse take first?
a. Use a bed alarm system on the patient’s bed.
b. Administer the prescribed PRN sedative medication.
c. Ask the health care provider to order a vest restraint.
d. Place the patient in a “geri-chair” near the nurse’s station.
ANS: A
The use of the least restrictive restraint alternative is required. Physical or chemical restraints
may be necessary, but the nurse’s first action should be an alternative such as a bed alarm.

OBJ: Special Questions: Prioritization TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation
18. An older adult patient presents with a broken arm and visible scattered bruises healing at
different stages. Which action should the nurse take first?
a. Notify an elder protective services agency about the possible abuse.
b. Make a referral for a home assessment visit by the home health nurse.
c. Have the family member stay in the waiting area while the patient is assessed.
d. Ask the patient how the injury occurred and observe the family member’s reaction.
ANS: C
The initial action should be assessment and interviewing of the patient. The patient should be
interviewed alone because the patient will be unlikely to give accurate information if the
abuser is present. If abuse is occurring, the patient should not be discharged home for a later
assessment by a home health nurse. The nurse needs to collect and document data before
notifying the elder protective services agency.

19. The family of an older patient with chronic health problems and increasing weakness is
considering placement in a long-term care (LTC) facility. Which action by the nurse will be
most helpful in assisting the patient to make this transition?
a. Have the family select a LTC facility that is relatively new.
b. Obtain the patient’s input about the choice of a LTC facility.
c. Ask that the patient be placed in a private room at the facility.
d. Explain the reasons for the need to live in LTC to the patient.
ANS: B
The stress of relocation is likely to be less when the patient has input into the choice of the
facility. The age of the long-term care facility does not indicate a better fit for the patient or
better quality of care. Although some patients may prefer a private room, others may adjust
better when given a well-suited roommate. The patient should understand the reasons for the
move but will make the best adjustment when involved with the choice to move and the
choice of the facility.

TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Psychosocial Integrity
20. The nurse manages the care of older adults in an adult health day care center. Which
action can the nurse delegate to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
a. Obtain information about food and medication allergies from patients.
b. Take blood pressures daily and document in individual patient records.
c. Choose social activities based on the individual patient needs and desires.
d. Teach family members how to cope with patients who are cognitively impaired.
ANS: B
Measurement and documentation of vital signs are included in UAP education and scope of
practice. Obtaining patient health history, planning activities based on the patient assessment,
and patient education are all actions that require critical thinking and will be done by the
registered nurse.

MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. Which nursing actions will the nurse take to assess for possible malnutrition in an older adult
patient (select all that apply)?
a. Observe for depression.
b. Review laboratory results.
c. Assess teeth and oral mucosa.
d. Ask about transportation needs.
e. Determine food likes and dislikes.
ANS: A, B, C, D
The laboratory results, especially albumin and cholesterol levels, may indicate chronic poor
protein intake or high-fat/cholesterol intake. Transportation impacts patients’ ability to shop
for groceries. Depression may lead to decreased appetite. Oral sores or teeth in poor condition
may decrease the ability to chew and swallow. Food likes and dislikes are not necessarily
associated with malnutrition.

La libertad ganada,
porque en tan buena empresa

luego
cómo procuro en todo echarte

niego;
mas ¿qué derecho guardará el
forzado
ó cómo no cairá sin luz el
ciego?
LIRIA
Esso me agrada, llámate
culpado,
y yo te escucharé de buena
gana.
FANIO
Y aun si quieres me doy por
condenado.

lozana,
cómo por este olmo infrutuoso

Naturaleza,

ni como rosa torna la belleza.
Cuando un estado tiene de
tomarse,
hallando la ocasión que es
conveniente,
¿qué sirve ó qué aprovecha
dilatarse?
No te niego yo, Liria, que al
presente
podrías escoger otro que
fuesse
en bondad y en hacienda
preminente;
Mas si tomasses á quien
más valiesse
que yo, yo juraré que no
hallases
otro que más ni tanto te
quisiesse.
Demás desto, pastora, si
mirasses
mi edad y mi hacienda y mis
respetos,
podría ser que no me
despreciasses.
Y sobre todo, mira los efetos
que en mí hacen tu gracia y
hermosura,
que bastan á suplir muchos
defetos.
LIRIA
Basta, pastor; que Dios te
dé ventura;
yo te agradezco amor tan
verdadero,
y escúchame otro poco, por
mesura.
¿Qué sabes tú si por
ventura quiero
y amo otro pastor, de tal
manera
que, como tú por mí, por él me
muero;
Y le tengo una fe tan
verdadera,
que aunque la vida su afición
me cueste,
ha de ser la primera y la
postrera?
¿Qué es esto, Fanio? ¿qué
desmayo es éste?
¿háceslo adrede? No, que
estás muy frío.
¿Hay algún Dios que su favor
te preste?
Recuerda, Fanio. ¡Oh
Ninfas deste río,
venidme á socorrer un caro
amigo,
porque no me castigue el error
mío!
Recuerda ya, los Dioses
sean contigo,
mira que lo que dije fué
burlando,
y ahora es verdadero lo que
digo.
FANIO
¿Yo muero, ó vivo, ó veo, ó

¿qué ha sido, Liria? L. A lo
que entiendo,
ibaste con el sueño

empresa,
con el placer quedástete
durmiendo.

que entiendo pesa:
paréceme que me ponías un
caso
donde el extremo de miserias
cesa.
LIRIA
De esso, pastor, no hagas
mucho caso,
si le haces de mí, porque son
cosas,
que en efeto las digo y no las
passo.
Mas porque son razones
peligrosas,
estas que aquí passamos,
quiero irme,
que bien bastan dos horas
para ociosas.

despedirme,
que aqueste lazo acabará mis
días
si como tú se me mostrare

¿Fuístete ó hasme oído? D.
Mal me tratas.
¿Irme tenía viéndote en tal
punto?
FANIO
¿Pues dónde estabas? D.
Entre aquellas matas.
Con tu desmayo me quedé
difunto,
pero decirte mi placer no
puedo
viendo á Liria en valerte tan á
punto.
Bien quisiera salir, mas tuve
miedo
de darte sobresalto ó
descontento,
y entre pena y placer me
estuve quedo.
FANIO
¿Pues hizo en mi desmayo
sentimiento?
DELIO
Tú como transportado no lo
viste;
mas cree de mí, que la verdad
te cuento,
Que se mostró tan alterada
y triste,
que comenzó á pedir al cielo
ayuda,
y mesuróse cuando en ti
volviste.
Sabe disimular, como es
sesuda,
mas de quererte como tú la
quieres,
no tengo yo (ni tú la tengas)
duda.
FANIO
Ya yo sé, Delio, que á
doquier que fueres,
ó tus consejos fueren
admitidos,
no faltarán contentos y
placeres.
DELIO
Essos tengas de Liria muy
cumplidos,
aunque en lo que quedaste
aquí hablando
cuando se fué, ofendiste á mis
oídos.
No sé qué te decías, no
bastando
á cerrar en tu pecho la alegría,
ora el callar, ora el hablar
dudando.
Pues mira qué consejo te
daría,
que, en lo que toca á Amor,
antes rebientes
que confieses agora que es de
día.
Bien pareces sencillo, pues
no sientes
cuánto debe excusar el
hombre sabio
la envidia y la malicia de las
gentes.
Al que te arrima dulcemente
el labio
no le fíes el dedo, que á tu
costa
podrá ser que conozcas su
resabio.
Porque la fe del mundo es
tan angosta,
tan ancha y prolongada la
malicia,
que la virtud escapa por la
posta.
Aquel que te hiciere más
caricia,
si te escudriña con industria el
pecho,
cree que tu mal y no tu bien
codicia.
Los bienes que el Amor te
hubiere hecho,
Fanio, tesoros son de duen de
casa,
cállalos, y entrarante en buen
provecho.
Y aquel refrán, que tan valido
passa,
que pierde el bien si no es
comunicado,
no atraviesse las puertas de tu
casa.
Calla con el amigo más
fundado,
que en prisión, en discordia ó
en ausencia,
no te arrepentirás de haber
callado.
Sabe que es general esta
dolencia,
entre la gente moza
respetarse
amigo á amigo sólo en la
presencia.
Que ya hemos visto alguno,
por fiarse
de un gran amigo, hecha su
jornada,
pensar que es todo un tiempo,
y engañarse.
Y alguno vi con suerte
confiada,
lleno de vanagloria en sus
favores,
después hallarse un nido con
no nada.
Y cuando la ocasión destos
temores
cessasse (que impossible me
parece),
por ley han de callar los
amadores.
Y en lo que ahora de tu bien
se ofrece,
no te descuides, menos te
apressures,
que lo extremado apenas
permanece.
¿Qué me respondes,
Fanio? F. Que no cures,
de decir más, que poco daño
temo
con tal que tú por mi salud
procures.
Demás que siempre huigo
yo el extremo,
y callo bien, como si fuesse un
canto,
y de mi hermano en mi afición
blasfemo.
DELIO
Cumple que assí lo hagas; y
con tanto
me voy, que tengo lejos el
abrigo,
y desdobla la noche apriessa
el manto.
Y porque pienso luego dar
conmigo
en el monte de pino, á las
paranzas,
quédate en paz. F. Y vaya
Dios contigo.
DELIO
Allá te avén con vanas
esperanzas,
que aunque se muestra tu
fortuna mansa,
quizá te arrastrarán tus
confianzas.
FANIO
Delio me espanta cómo no
descansa,
si topa con quien ha de
respetarle,
que habla tanto, que, aunque
bueno, cansa;
ya yo lo estaba casi de
escucharle.
Con tales afectos representaron

los discretos pastores, que á los
oyentes no les parecía
representación, sino propio caso,
y aunque agradó á todos, á Filida
mucho más, porque sabía más
por entero aquella historia. Liria
era su amiga y Fanio y Delio muy
conocidos de todos, y assí,
estuvo con gran atención desde el
principio hasta el cabo; que le
hizo gran donaire verlos despedir
murmurándose, y agradeciendo á
los pastores la curiosidad con que
la entretenían, pidió á Sasio que
rematasse la fiesta, el cual, las
manos en la lira y el pensamiento
en Silvera, pastora gentil, á quien
nuevamente amaba, cantó con
gran dulzura aquestos versos
suaves:
SASIO
Esto que traigo en mi pecho
no puede ser sino amor,
pues me siento en su rigor
agraviado y satisfecho;
yo oso en la cobardía
y en el osar me acobardo;
¿qué me guardo,
si la nieve que me enfría
es el fuego en que me ardo?
Guárdome de tal manera
que me guardo del contento,
pues la causa del tormento
fué mi ventura primera.
Ampárome con mi ofensa
porque sé que aunque más
pene,
me conviene
no hacer jamás defensa
sino al bien que sin vos viene.
En la empresa comenzada
no puede faltarme gloria,
