Question 1
Type: MCSA
A nurse just attended a conference on “The Older Adult.” Which of the following statements by the nurse would be a complete and accurate definition of senescence?
1. “This term denotes the eventual and continuing physical decline of the person’s body throughout life.”
2. “Senescence describes the cognitive decline of the aging adult individual, along with the accompanying personality changes.”
3. “This term refers to the progressive decline of body processes, loss of fertility and the ultimate death of an individual.”
4. “Senescence suggests the ‘fading away’ of the aging individual’s personality over a gradual period of time.”
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This is incorrect as the definition of senescence includes more than physical decline.
Rationale 2: This is incorrect as the definition of senescence includes more than cognitive decline.
Rationale 3: Correct. Senescence is defined as the progressive decline of body processes, loss of fertility and the ultimate death of an individual.
Rationale 4: This is incorrect as the definition of senescence includes more than personality changes.

Question 3
Type: MCSA
An older adult client on a medical unit is about to undergo a knee replacement. The client jokes with the nurse caring for him, saying, “I guess the warranty on this old knee just ran out.” The client’s comment could be said to be based upon which biological theory of aging?
1. Disengagement
2. Wear and tear
3. Activity
4. Glycation
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Disengagement is incorrect because it is actually a psychological theory of aging.

Rationale 3: Activity theory is incorrect as it is actually a psychological theory of aging.
Rationale 4: Glycation is incorrect because this theory states that cross-linked proteins accumulate, interfering with cell replacement and slowing down bodily functions.
