Assignment task:
Alma Faulkenberger is an 85-year-old female outpatient sitting in the waiting room awaiting an invasive pelvic procedure. The healthcare professional who will assist in her procedure enters the room and calls "Alma." There is no reply, so the professional retreats to the work area. Fifteen minutes later, the professional returns and calls "Alma Frankenberg." Still no reply, so he leaves again. Another 15 minutes pass, and the professional approaches Alma and shouts in her ear, "Are you Alma Frankenberg?" She replies, "No, I am not, and I am not deaf either, and when you get my name correct, I will answer you. I believe that the healthcare professional is displaying ageism and disrespectful behavior towards the patient. I have researched the topic for 5+ hours and I am not able to locate examples in healthcare about ageism behavior towards patients. What are examples of ageism, and can you provide sources so that I can read the article for a more in-depth understanding?
