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.
