2. When Attempting To Minimize The Effect Of Ageism On The Practice Of Nursing
Older Adults, A Nurse Needs To First:
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 By Many Americans.
,CORRECT 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.
