, Ageism Is An Ever-Increasing Prejudicial View Of The Effects Of The Aging Process And Of
The OlderPopulation 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.
