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.
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-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.
