5 "It is hoped that the baccalaureate graduate will be prepared to function as a generalist gerontological nurse as described by this document." GERONTOLOGICAL NURSING PRACTICE* Gerontological nursing practice involves assessing the health and functional status of older adults, planning and providing appropriate nursing and other health care services, and evaluating the effectiveness of such care. Emphasis is placed on maximizing functional ability in the activities of daily living; promoting, maintaining, and restoring health, including mental health; preventing and minimizing the disabilities of acute and chronic illness; and maintaining life in dignity and comfort until death. Gerontological nursing may be practiced in any setting, for example, the nursing home, the hospital, the client's home, the clinic, and the community. Gerontological nursing focuses on the client and family (in this document, the term family refers to family members and significant others). Generalist Nursing Practice The professional nurse practicing gerontological nursing at the generalist level functions in a variety of institutions, the home, and other community settings. The responsibilities of the generalist include direct care, management and development of professional and other nursing personnel, and evaluation of care and services for older persons. All professional nurses practicing gerontological nursing possess the basic knowledge and skills to do the following: 1. Develop, implement, and evaluate the older person's plan of care. 2. Establish a therapeutic relationship with the older person and family to facilitate their collaboration with the nurse in developing, implementing, and evaluating the plan of care. 3. Recognize age-related changes based on an understanding of physiological, cultural, social, psychological, and spiritual functioning. 4. Collect data to determine health status and functional abilities in order to plan, implement, and evaluate care. 5. Participate as a member of the interdisciplinary team. 6. Participate with older persons, families, and other health professionals in ethical decision making that is clientcentered, empathetic, and humane. 7. Teach older persons and families about measures that promote, maintain, and restore health or promote comfort. 8. Refer the older person to other professionals or community resources for assistance as necessary. 9. Apply the existing body of knowledge in gerontology to nursing practice. 10. Exercise accountability to the older person by protecting that person's rights and autonomy. 11. Use the standards of gerontological nursing practice and the nursing process to increase the quality of care of the older person. *A.N.A. Gerontological Standards 9/98:MRO.330 5
