Practice Of Nursing Older Adults, A Nurse Needs To First:
a. Recognize That Nurses Must Act As Advocates For Aging
Patients.

Substantial Portion Of Those Requiring Nursing
Care.
c. Self-Reflect And Formulate Ones Personal View Of Aging And
The Older Patient.

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.
