2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
nurse needs to first: ag ag ag
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients. ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
nursing care. ag
c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans. ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
ANS: C ag
,Ageism is an ever- ag ag ag
increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as a who
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
le. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the individual nu
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
rse self-
ag
reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all se
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
ttings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form o
ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag ag
f bigotry.

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