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



nurse needs to first w NURSINGTB.COM w w


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


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


nursing care. w


c. self-reflect and formulate one‟s personal view of aging and the older patient.
w w w w w w w w w w w


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




ANS: C w


Ageism is an ever- w w w


increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the in
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


dividual nurse self- w w


reflects on personal feelings and determines whether such feelings will affect the nursing car
w w w w w w w w w w w w w


e that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing r
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


ole in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ag
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w


eism as a form of bigotry.
