2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults,
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




a nurse needs to first:
am am am am




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




b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requirin
am am am am am am am am am am



g nursing care. am am




c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient.
am am am am am am am am am am am




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




ANS: C am

,Ageism is an ever- am am am




increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as a
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the indivi
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




dual nurse self- am am




reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care th
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




at he or she provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




am all settings. Simply accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as
am am am am am am am am am am am am am am am a




m a form of bigotry.

am am am am am am am am am am am am am am




velopment of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health measures have b
