Answer  preview

Aging gracefully has not always been easy for many, but one’s attitude plays a significant role. For different reasons, society is fond of pointing out the different negative aging aspects. Luckily, not all seniors are negative or pessimistic about aging, and this should be everyone’s spirit (Day, 2020). A longer life comes with additional opportunities for the seniors, their families, and society as a whole. More years give them a chance to pursue new or more activities such as new careers and education. This article explains the various theories of aging and their impact on nursing.
