attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a nurse needs to first:
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
p p p p p p p p p
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.

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

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