Pre Test 1 – Outcome Based Quality Improvement Standards

Our perception of older clients often affects our expectations of them.

The assumption that all aged people are in declining health is an accurate one.

Restorative nursing is based on the fundamental belief that many aged people can be returned to some level of independence and function with the proper care and guidance.

Good health means more than just the absence of disease.

The traditional health continuum moves from the absence of illness toward illness and death.

The wellness continuum includes everyone, even the aged, because it emphasizes independence and the promotion of function rather than cure.

Nurses play a minor role in restorative care.

Restorative nursing has no role in the client’s psychological or emotional health.

Restorative nursing of the elderly takes less time than other forms of nursing.

Very few of the elderly have chronic illnesses.
