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




ss nurse needs to first: ss ss ss




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




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



nursing care.
ss ss




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




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




ANS: C ss




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




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




ss that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




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




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




ss does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

b. government support of retired citizens. ss ss ss ss




c. effective antibiotic therapies. ss ss

ss ss ss ss




ANS: C ss




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




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




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




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