Prejudices and stereotypes about older people based solely on their age are known as ageism
(ANS). - include negative stereotypes of older people as frail, vulnerable, asexual, obstinate,
socially isolated, and a burden on families and society Ageism in nursing - ANS-causes lower
levels of care to be provided
Anxiety about getting older, also known as ANS, is a fear of getting older and the negative
effects it has on one's health. Cascade Iatrogenesis, also known as ANS, is the recurrence of
multiple medical problems that can be sparked by a single, seemingly unimportant occurrence.
(a series of negative events brought on by a single medical or nursing intervention that sets off a
chain reaction of declines) GFR decline; ANS-decreased renal clearance; toxicity; and
decreased hepatic blood flow Positive outcomes in terms of care quality, safety, and cost result
from effective transitional care interventions (ANS). - a decrease in all-cause readmissions,
mortality, and hospitalizations Ageism's effects on health - ANS - poor outcomes increased
cardiovascular stress
psychological anguish lower scores on cognitive performance assessments increased risk for
depression and anxiety
Generational rivalry for limited public resources in the areas of health, housing, and social
welfare employment opportunities discrimination increased mortality
The observable effects of actions, risk factors, and age-related changes that affect older adults'
quality of life or daily activities are referred to as functional consequences theory, or ANS.
Generosity, or ANS, is an essential part of spirituality. variously defined as a concern with
contributing to others, investment in the next generation, or sense that one is caring for and
contributing to others' well-being
(sharing knowledge improves cognitive function and improves the well-being of others,
particularly younger generations) Long term care - ANS-private, anything that goes past skilled
nursing and after a hospitalization after an injury or illness
There are ANS long-term care insurance policies available to cover the costs of some long-term
care services, but the majority of elderly people find that the costs outweigh the potential
benefits. ANS: Medicaid is a federal and state program that helps people who can't pay for
health care services. - has become the primary source of payment for non skilled long term care
for older adults
Medicare is an ANS-A program that was added to Social Security in 1965. It covers elderly
people for hospitalization and lets them buy cheap insurance for doctor's visits and other health
costs. - Individuals 65 and older - requires copays from beneficiaries Medicare Part A - ANS-65
and older, covers acute care hospitals, skilled care in licensed facility, home health care,
hospice care
