Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the

effects of the aging process and of the v f v f vfvf vfvf v f v f

v fas a whole. With nurses v being f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f


members
v f of v f a society holding such views, it is v f v f v f v f vfvf v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f v f


critical

personalvfvf feelings and determine whether such feelings
