b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those requiring

c. self-reflect and formulate one’s personal view of aging and the older patient.

the individual nurse self-reflects on personal feelings and determines 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.
