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