a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing
care.
c. self-reflect and formulate one’s personal view of aging and the older patient.
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared

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.
