2. When attempting to minimize the affect of ageism on the practice nursing of the older adult population, a nurse needs to first:
a. recognize that nurses must act as advocates for aging clients.
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 client.
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-reflect on personal feelings and determine whether such feelings will affect the nursing care that he or she provides to the aging client.
