2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nụrsing older adụlts,
a nụrse needs to first NỤRSINGTB.COM
a. recognize that nụrses mụst act as advocates for aging patients.
b. accept that this popụlation represents a sụbstantial portion of those
reqụiring nụrsing care.
c. self-reflect and formụlate one’s personal view of aging and the older patient.
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
ANS: C
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejụdicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
older popụlation as a whole. With nụrses being members of a society holding sụch views, it
is critical that the individụal nụrse self-reflects on personal feelings and determines whether
sụch feelings will affect the nụrsing care that he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting
as an advocate is an important nụrsing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not
help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.
