,Chapter 1 Nursing in Today's Evolving Health Care Environment
1. A professor is presenting a lecture on the age of nurses in the
work force today. Which statement by one of the student nurses
indicates that the teaching has been effective?
A. "In the past decade, the rate of aging of nurses has increased
steadily."
B. "The average age of graduates from nursing programs is 25 years
old."
C. "Older nurses are likely to remain in the workforce because the
nursing field is reasonably protected from layoffs experienced by
other professions."
D. "One-third of the current workforce is younger than 50 years
old."
C.
The increasing number of older nurses who are in the workforce is
possibly due to the recent economic downturn, which resulted in
high unemployment rates. The nursing field is reasonably protected
from layoffs that other professions often experience. In the past
decade, the rate of aging nurses has decreased. The average age
of graduating nurses from all nursing programs is 31 years old.
One-third of the current workforce is older than 50 years of age.
,2. The nurse manager has hired a nurse from another country. What
action should the nurse manager take, in order to make the new
nurse's transition easier?
A. Allow the new nurse to choose a preceptor.
B. Encourage the new nurse to enroll in a higher education
program.
C. Educate the current staff about the new nurse's background.
Correct
D. Give the new nurse an assignment as part of training.
Foreign educated nurses often face many challenges when they
join the workforce in the United States. Peers may not see them as
knowledgeable, and often devalue them. The nurse manager
should educate the current staff about the new nurse, even
allowing the new nurse to discuss the country of origin. The nurse
manager should strive to make the nurse's transition smooth, by
selecting a great preceptor and ensuring the proper amount of
training. Immediately encouraging the new nurse to pursue more
education may be overwhelming, and giving the new nurse as
assignment right away would not be appropriate.

C. Professional incentives
D. Better quality of life

include: poor working conditions, poor compensation, political
instability and lack of opportunities for career development.
Personal safety, professional incentives and better quality of life are
factors that pull nurses emigrate.
