Ageism is an ever- xt xt xt
increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as a whole. With nurses being m
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
embers of a society holding such views, it is critical that the individual nurse self-
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt x
ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.
