About this Exam
Prepare with the Aging and End-of-Life Concepts Practice Test practice quiz. This question bank includes 10 questions covering term, death, years, described, and describes. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.
Sample Questions
Question
1
Death during early years is described as which term?
Explanation:
The term used for death occurring in the early years of life is childhood loss because it identifies deaths that happen during childhood, not infancy. Infant loss is strictly death of an infant (0–12 months). Sudden loss describes how quickly death occurs, and anticipated loss describes a death that was expected due to illness; neither specifically names the age of the person. So, when the death happens in the early years, the appropriate label is childhood loss.
Question
2
Which term describes the theoretical model identifying Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion as components?
Explanation:
The main idea here is the Big Five personality model, also known as the Five-Factor Model. This framework describes five broad personality dimensions, including Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The term that names the theoretical model linking Openness, Conscientiousness, and Extraversion (along with the other two dimensions) and credits the researchers who popularized it is Costa and McCrae's Big Five traits. Using this phrasing directly points to the established model itself, not to any single trait. The other options don’t fit because Openness and Extraversion are individual dimensions, not the overall model, and Formal education has no relation to this personality framework.
Question
3
A miscarriage that occurs between 12 and 20 weeks of gestation is called:
Explanation:
The idea being tested is terminology for miscarriages by how far along the pregnancy is. A loss that happens after the first trimester but before viability is described as a late miscarriage. The window of 12 to 20 weeks fits this category, placing it after early pregnancy losses (which occur before 12 weeks) and before stillbirth (which is defined as fetal death after about 20 weeks). Recurrent miscarriage refers to multiple pregnancy losses, not the timing of a single loss. So the described scenario is best labeled a late miscarriage.
Question
4
Which concept describes stereotypes that older adults are weak or incompetent?
Explanation:
Stereotypes about aging are a form of ageism, capturing the biased belief that older people are weak or incompetent. The phrase “stereotypical ageism” targets the stereotype itself—the overgeneralized image people hold about a group—rather than specific actions or the broader system. While ageism can appear in attitudes, behaviors, or institutions, this item focuses on a belief about older adults, which is why the best label is stereotypes of aging, or “stereotypical ageism.” The other terms describe either the broader concept of ageism (without focusing on the stereotype) or its manifestations in personal interactions or institutional structures.
Question
5
Which memory type is associated with general knowledge and vocabulary?
Explanation:
Semantic memory is the memory type that holds general knowledge and vocabulary. It stores facts about the world, meanings of words, concepts, and meanings that aren’t tied to a specific time or place. When you know that Paris is the capital of France or you understand the definition of a word, you’re using semantic memory. This contrasts with episodic memory, which is about personal experiences and events you’ve lived through (like a birthday party or a trip), and with working memory, which involves holding and manipulating information in the short term (such as remembering a phone number long enough to dial it). Autobiographical memory is a subset of episodic memory focused on your own life events. So for general knowledge and vocabulary, semantic memory is the best fit.
