About ANA’s Specialty Nursing StandardsSince the late 1990s, ANA has partnered with other nursing organizations to establish a formal process for recognition of specialty areas of nursing practice. This includes the criteria for approving the specialty itself and the scope statement, and an acknowledgment by ANA of the standards of practice for that specialty. Because of the significant changes in the evolving nursing and healthcare environments, ANA’s approval of specialty nursing scope statements and its acknowledgment of specialty standards of practice remain valid for 5 years, starting from the publication date of the documents. ReadershipThe primary readership of the Gerontological Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, Second Edition [American Nurses Association (ANA), 2019] consists of registered nurses (RNs), including advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and other RNs prepared at the graduate level, working with older adults in a multitude of roles and across varying settings. Students, administrators, educators, researchers, interprofessional colleagues, agencies, and organizations will find this an invaluable reference. Legislators, regulators, legal counsel, and the judiciary system will also want to examine this nursing specialty scope of practice statement and accompanying standards of practice and professional performance. In addition, older adults, families, formal and informal carers, communities, populations, and other stakeholders can use this document to better understand and value gerontological nurses, their expertise, and commitment to their practice. IntroductionThe scope of gerontological nursing practice describes the who, what, where, when, why, and how of gerontological nursing practice and is presented via a comprehensive, holistic approach characteristic of experienced gerontological nurses. Each of these questions must be answered to provide a complete picture of the dynamic and complex practice of gerontological nursing and its evolving boundaries and membership. The global population is aging with people living longer and with multiple chronic conditions. It is a new era for turning the page from dependency and critical illness. Today’s focus is on wellness, health promotion, prevention of illness and injury, as well as keeping older adults physically and mentally healthy, functional, as independent as possible, and with optimal quality of life. The who community for gerontological nursing practice is described as resilient older adults. Caregiving is addressed in the context of person- and family-centered care of older adults. Gerontological registered nurses (RNs), graduate-level prepared registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) comprise the professional nursing who constituency and have been educated, have been titled, and maintain active licensure and certification to practice gerontological nursing. Gerontological nursing occurs when ever there is a need for gerontological nursing knowledge, wisdom, caring, leadership, practice, or education, anytime, anywhere. The definition of gerontological nursing provides a succinct characterization of the what of gerontological nursing practice. Gerontological nursing occurs in any environment where there is an older adult in need of information, care, support, empowerment, or advocacy with relevance across all settings. The how of gerontological nursing practice is defined as the ways, means, methods, and manners with which gerontological nurses practice professionally. The how of gerontological nursing is supported by addressing the need for educating the workforce on knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and competence to care for this aging population. The why is characterized as gerontological nursing’s response and commitment to the changing needs of society to achieve positive older adult health outcomes. The Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements (ANA, 2015) helps define the why. Description of Gerontological NursingGerontological nursing is an evidence-based nursing specialty practice that addresses the unique physiological, social, psychological, developmental, economic, cultural, spiritual, and advocacy needs of older adults. Gerontological nursing focuses on the process of aging and the protection, promotion, restoration, and optimization of health and function; prevention of illness and injury; facilitation of healing; alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response; and advocacy in the care of older adults, carers, families, groups, communities, and populations. Gerontological nurses, as experts on aging, provide and promote individualized, person-centered, and holistic care of older adults. Gerontological nurses promote quality of life, wellness, autonomy, self-management, shared decision-making, optimal functioning, and comfort from healthy aging to the end of life.
