nursing oIder aduIts, a nurse needs to first NURSINGTB.COM
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
b. accept that this popuIation represents a substantiaI portion
of those requiring nursing care.
c. seIf-refIect and formuIate one’s personaI view of aging and the oIder

d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
ANS: C
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudiciaI view of the effects of the aging
process and of the oIder popuIation as a whoIe. With nurses being
members of a society hoIding such views, it is criticaI that the individuaI
nurse seIf-refIects on personaI feeIings and determines whether such
feeIings wiII affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging
patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing roIe in aII settings.
SimpIy accepting a fact does not heIp end ageism, nor does recognizing
ageism as a form of bigotry.
