3. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a nurse
needs to first:
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
nursing care.
c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
ANS: C
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
older population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is
critical that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such
feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an
advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end
ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

4. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:
a. increased availability of in-home care services.
b. government support of retired citizens.
c. effective antibiotic therapies.
d. the development of life-extending therapies.
ANS: C
The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans
