c. self-reflect and formulate 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 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.

c. effective antibiotic therapies.
d. the development of life-extending therapies. ANS: C
The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted
by the development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public
health measures have been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of
healthy, independent older Americans than have in-home care services,
government programs, or life-extending therapies.
