Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Apply gerontological nursing knowledge to scenario items spanning assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation stages of the nursing process

  • Distinguish normal age-related change from pathology in areas such as skin, bone, hearing, vision, cognition and metabolism

  • Select every correct option in Select all that apply items on topics such as MyPlate for Older Adults intake recommendations or which drug classes interact with alcohol

Teaching tips

  • Work chapter by chapter alongside the textbook — each block carries the chapter number and title, and the REF line points to the sixth-edition page the item is drawn from

  • Use the DIF label to build a graded paper: Remember and Understand items suit early revision, while Apply and Analyze items rehearse clinical decision-making

  • Sort items by their MSC client-needs category when revising against an NCLEX blueprint — Physiological Integrity, Psychosocial Integrity, Safe Effective Care Environment and Health Promotion and Maintenance all appear throughout

Skills covered

  • Clinical judgement in older-adult care — students choose the best nursing action in scenarios such as a hospice transfer, an alert fall-risk patient left alone in bed, or an interview for a nursing-home direct-care post.

  • Select all that apply reasoning — each chapter's MULTIPLE RESPONSE block requires identifying every correct option, as in which drug classes alcohol diminishes or which characteristics mark acute rather than chronic grief.

  • Intervention sequencing — the OTHER items ask for four nursing steps in order, such as ranking a nutritional assessment from medication history through physical examination and anthropometry to bloodwork.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How are the questions organised within a chapter?

Each chapter starts with a MULTIPLE CHOICE block of single-best-option items, then a MULTIPLE RESPONSE block marked "(Select all that apply.)". A few chapters finish with an OTHER block containing ordering items, where four nursing interventions have to be ranked beginning with the first step.

What do the classification lines under each item mean?

PTS gives the item's weighting, DIF the cognitive demand (Remember, Understand, Apply or Analyze), REF the textbook page the content comes from, TOP the focus — usually a nursing-process stage, sometimes Communication and Documentation or Teaching/Learning — and MSC the client-needs category, such as Physiological Integrity or Safe, Effective Care Environment.

How closely does the sequence follow the textbook?

Chapter for chapter. The blocks run in the sixth edition's own order and carry its chapter titles, from Chapter 01: Gerontological Nursing and Promotion of Healthy Aging through Chapter 15: Clinical Judgment to Reduce Fall Risk and Injuries and Chapter 20: Metabolic Disorders to Chapter 28: Loss, Death, and Palliative Care, and each item's REF line names the textbook page behind it.
