“‘``‘ MULTIPLE CHOICE “‘``‘

“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘


female-
“‘``‘




dominated profession? “‘``‘




a. More men graduating from baccalaureate and higher degree programs
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




b. The proportion of men in nursing beginning to increase
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘

“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




d. Salary compensation increasing to attract more men “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




ANS: C “‘``‘




Feedback
A More men graduating from baccalaureate and higher degree programs is
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



not 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 nurses, the less nursing will be
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



seen as a female-dominated profession.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




D Salary rates do not appear to relate to the recruitment of men into nursing.

2. The racial and ethnic composition of the nursing profession will change to more
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




accurately reflect the population as a whole when
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




a. the increased numbers of racial and ethnic minorities enrolled in
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



educational programs graduate and begin to practice.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




b. the number of Asians or Native Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders begins to increase.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




c. the percentage of African-American and Hispanic nurses decreases more than
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



the percentage of white nurses.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘

d. the nonwhite portion of the general population decreases.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




ANS: A “‘``‘




Feedback
A A larger percentage of minorities are enrolled in nursing educational
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



programs than previously.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




B Asians and Native Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders are over represented in
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



nursing compared to their percentage of the general population.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




C Not only would the percentage of African-American and Hispanic nurses
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



need to increase, the percentage of white nurses would have to decrease
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



in order to more accurately reflect the population as a whole.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




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

“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



population?
“‘``‘




a. The racial/ethnic composition of RNs closely resembles that of the
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘`‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



general population.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘




b. The number of men entering nursing has decreased steadily over the last decade.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘ ``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




c. The rate of aging of RNs has slowed for the first time in the past 30 years.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




d. The majority of employed RNs working full time must work a second position.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




ANS: C “‘``‘




Feedback
A The racial/ethnic composition of RNs is increasing, but does not
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



approximate their percentage of the overall population.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




B The number of men entering nursing is increasing.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




C The average age of RNs in both 2004 and 2008 was 46. This is a result
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



of the numbers of RNs under 30 in the workforce.
“‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘




D According to 2008 data, only 12% of nurses working full time hold “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘`‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘ “‘``‘



second positions.
