the best answer because associate degree programs produce the most new
graduates.
B The percentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.
C The more men who enter the workplace as nursing attendants, the less nursing
will be seen as a female-dominated profession.

DIFFICULT: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: MCS: 2

D The nonwhite portion of the general population is not likely to decrease.


DIFFICULT: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: MCS: 3
