Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse conducts individual interviews with the women to determine their interests and to avoid generalizing; as people live longer,they become more and more unique.
Because most of these women are in their 80s,were born between 1920 and 1930,and have generally spent their lives as homemakers,the nurse presumes to know what activities they will enjoy.The nurse avoids arranging group activities until individual interests are determined.In addition,the nurse must assess for allergies and individual fears of animals before exposing an older adult to a pet visit.Unless it is organized on a voluntary basis,the nurse avoids arranging visits by guest speakers.In addition,the nurse will assess each older woman before an outside visit to avoid embarrassing events including incontinence and hearing and vision problems.
