Bestsolutions13

, Ageism Is An Ever-Increasing Prejudicial View Of The Effects Of The Aging Process And Of The
Older Population 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.

Americans Than Have In-Home Care Services, Government Programs, Or Life-Extending
