2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a nurse needs to first:
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients.
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring nursing care.
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
c. self-reflect and formulate one’s personal view of aging and the older patient.
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
Americans. ANS: C
jw jw jw
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as a
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the individual nurse self-
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
provides to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting
jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw jw
a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.

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