, 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.
