3. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults,
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
pa nurse needs to first:
p p p p
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
p p p p p p p p p
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those
p p p p p p p p p
requiring nursing care.

p p p p p p p p p p p
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
p p p p p p p p p p
ANS: C p
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
polder population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
pcritical that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such
p p p p p p p p p p p p
pfeelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
padvocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help

p p p p p p p
a. increased availability of in-home care services. p p p p p
b. government support of retired citizens. p p p p
c. effective antibiotic therapies. p p
d. the development of life-extending therapies.

The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p
pdevelopment of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
