This discussion is about ageism and bias. Reflect on your personal perception of older adults (aged 65 and above). Consider it is your first day at a clinical site, and your preceptor tells you that your client is a 76 year old female. Does that paint a picture of your day? Do you have different expectations about the physical and cognitive abilities of a 76 year old client than you would for a 46 year old client? Do you anticipate having to provide more care for a 76 year old than for a 46 year old? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you are not alone.
