3. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
adults, a nurse needs to first:
ki ki ki ki ki ki
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging patients. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
b. accept that this population represents a substantial portion of those
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
requiring nursing care.
ki ki ki
c. self-reflect and formulate ones personal view of aging and the older patient. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
d. recognize ageism as a form of bigotry shared by many Americans. ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ANS: C ki
Ageism is an ever-increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
older population as a whole. With nurses being members of a society holding such views,
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki it is critical that the individual nurse self-reflect on personal feelings and determine
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki accepting a fact does not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki bigotry.

4. When discussing factors that have helped to increase the number of healthy,
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki

a. increased availability of in-home care services. ki ki ki ki ki
b. government support of retired citizens. ki ki ki ki
c. effective antibiotic therapies. ki ki
d. the development of life-extending therapies.
ki ki ki ki
ANS: C ki
The health and ultimate autonomy of older Americans has been positively impacted by
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki the development of antibiotics, better sanitation, and vaccines. These public health
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
ki measures have been more instrumental in increasing the numbers of healthy, independent
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
older Americans than have in-home care services, government programs, or life-
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
, extending therapies.
