ANS: C v
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
older population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
critical that the individual nurse self-reflects on personal feelings and determines whether
v v v v v v v v v v v v
such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.
