Question

Choose the term that best matches the description given.

Mabel Didrikson was born just before the outbreak of World War II. Her family was able to escape from Germany and make their way to the United States. At eighteen, she married, and for many years Mabel lived a full life with her husband, until he died two years ago. Unable to care for herself, and with no immediate family in this country, Mabel reluctantly moved into an inexpensive nursing home that accepted Medicare and Medicaid, as well as her Social Security retirement earnings, as payment for services. For the past three weeks, she has not been able to get out of bed, and the staff has ignored her cries of pain and requests for assistance. This morning, she was transferred by ambulance to a regional hospital where doctors in the emergency room diagnosed her with severe bedsores, dehydration, and early stage malnutrition. Mabel is now being examined and interviewed by a(n)_____ nurse.

Answer 1

Gentrological Nurse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mabel Didrikson was born just before the outbreak of World War II. That means she was born around 1939, and that makes her 82 years old at the moment, in which she can be considered an older person.

Also, a Gentrological Nurse is a type of nurse that works in the treatment and aid of older people in maintaining their healthy life by giving them adequate care against any form of injuries, diseases, or sickness.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is GENTROLOGICAL NURSE.
