The current publishing of the Standards and Scope of Gerontological Nursing Practice in

2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




nurse needs to first

a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients. b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g



b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




nursing care. g b-g




c. self-reflect and formulate one‟s personal view of aging and the older patient. b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g




d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans. b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g




ANS: C b - g




Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




older population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




is critical that the individual nurse self-reflects on personal feelings and determines whether
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not
g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-g b-




help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.
