2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


/ f practice of nursing older adults, a nurse needs to first:
/ f / f /f /f / f / f / f / f / f


a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
/ f /f /f / f / f / f /f /f / f / f /f /f


b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f


of those requiring nursing care.
/ f / f /f / f / f


c. self-reflect and formulate one‟s personal view of aging and the / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


older patient.
/ f / f


d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans.
/ f / f /f /f / f /f /f / f / f /f /f / f / f




ANS: C
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging
/ f / f / f / f


process and of the older population as a whole. With nurses being
/f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the
/ f / f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine
/ f / f / f / f /f / f / f / f


whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f /f / f / f / f


provides to the
/ f aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an
/ f / f / f / f / f / f


important nursing role in all settings.
/f / f / f / f / f / f


Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

, The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


positively impacted by the development of antibiotics, better

sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have been more

Americans than

a. age.

that increase the likelihood of institutionalization.
