Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating disease that poses many physical, social, psychological, and management problems for family and professional caregivers. Nursing students' ability to meet this challenge was measured using Palmore's (1988) Facts on Aging Quiz, Version 2 (FAQ2) and the Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge (ADK) Test developed by Dieckmann, Zarit, Zarit, and Gatz (1988). No significant difference in ADK Test scores was found for students who had previous personal or educational experiences with AD. However, older students, seniors, and those who reported knowing more about AD had significantly better scores on the ADK Test. Knowledge about AD was not found to be related to knowledge of aging, and subjects as a group were found to exhibit a negative bias toward the elderly as measured by Palmore's FAQ2.
