ANS:xC jk



Feedback
A More men graduating from baccalaureate and higher degree programs is not the
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



best answer because associate degree programs produce the most new graduates.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



B The percentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



C The more men who enter the workplace as nurses, the less nursing will be seen as
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



a female-dominated profession.
kj kj kj

,D Salary rates do not appear to relate to the recruitment of men into
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



nursing. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: MCS: 2

kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



programs graduate and begin to practice.

kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



ANS:xA jk

kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



than previously. kj kj



B Asians and Native Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders are over represented in nursing
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



compared to their percentage of the general population.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



C Not only would the percentage of African-American and Hispanic nurses need
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



to increase, the percentage of white nurses would have to decrease in order to
k j kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



more accurately reflect the population as a whole.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



D The nonwhite portion of the general population is not likely
k j k j k j k j k j k j k j k j k j



k jto decrease. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: MCS: 3

kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



of RNs under 30 in the workforce.
kj kj kj kj kj kj kj



D According to 2008 data, only 12% of nurses working full time hold second kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj kj
