Module 06 D – Bias in Healthcare
This paper 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.
