2. When attempting to minimize the effect of ageism on the practice of nursing older adults, a nurse needs to first:

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- ki ki ki
increasing prejudicial view of the effects of the aging process and of the older population as a whole. With nurses b

eing members of a society holding such views, it is critical that the individual nurse self-
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
to the aging patient. Acting as an advocate is an important nursing role in all settings. Simply accepting a fact does
ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki
not help end ageism, nor does recognizing ageism as a form of bigotry.
