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


needs to first:
u u u




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

u u u u u

, b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.
u u u u u u u u u u u u




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




d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans. ACCURATE ANSWER: C
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




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




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


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


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


role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


form of bigotry.

3. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy, independent older
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


Americans, the nurse includes the importance of:
u u u u u u u




a. increased availability of in-home care services. u u u u u




b. government support of retired citizens. u u u u




c. effective antibiotic therapies. u u




d. the development of life-extending therapies.
u u u u




ACCURATE ANSWER: C u u




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


of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have been more
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent older Americans than have in-home
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


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