The prevalence of ageism in health care prevents nurses from providing the best care to older adults. Nursing education can prepare nurses to proactively dismantle their own ageist views as well as ageist practices within health care settings. Active learning strategies, such as role-play and case studies, can be used to teach nurses how to become anti-ageism advocates and improve the quality of health care for older adults.
