ENVIRONMENT
2. 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.

A. INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF IN-HOME CARE SERVICES.
B. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT OF RETIRED CITIZENS.

D. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIFE-EXTENDING THERAPIES.

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 THAN HAVE IN-HOME CARE SERVICES, GOVERNMENT
PROGRAMS, OR LIFE-EXTENDING THERAPIES.
