2.When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


nursing attendant needs to first:
tr tr tr tr tr



a. recognize that nursing attendants must act as advocates for aging hospital patients.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




c. self-reflect and formulate one’s personal view of aging and the older hospital patient.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr




d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr



tr Americans.

CORRECT CHOICE:-C tr


Reasoning:->>>Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


the older population as a whole. With nursing attendants being members of a society holding such
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


views, it is critical that the individual nursing attendant self-reflect on personal feelings and determine
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging hospital patient.
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

tr tr tr tr tr




b. government support of retired citizens. tr tr tr tr




c. effective antibiotic therapies. tr tr




d. the development of life-extending
tr tr tr


tr therapies.

CORRECT CHOICE:-C tr


Reasoning:->>>The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


by the development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than
tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr tr


have in-home care services, government programs, or life-extending therapies.
