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




nurse needs to first: JY JY JY




a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients. JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




nursing care. JY




c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient. JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




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




ANS: C JY




Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical that
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry. JY JY JY JY JY JY

ANS: C JY




The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by the
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have been
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than have in-
JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY JY




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