ANSWER_ C L
T
F




Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L L
FT FT L




and of the older population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




holding such views, it is critical that the individual nurse self-reflects on personal
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




feelings and determines whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing
FT L L
FT FT L FT L L
FT FT L L
FT FT L L
FT FT L L
FT FT L FT L FT L FT L




role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

ANSWER_ D L

It is a misconception that old age is synonymous with disease and illness. In fact,
L
FT FT L FT L FT L L
FT L
FT FT L FT L L
FT FT L L
FT FT L FT L L
FT




older adults already tend to view their personal health positively despite the
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




presence of chronic illness, disease, and impairment. The nurse should always
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




determine the patient’s sense of wellness and independence when conducting a L
FT L
FT L

F L

health and history assessment. An assessment of medication use and family
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




support is important for any patient. Many older adults do have chronic health
FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L FT L




conditions, but their perception is more important than a single number.
