ṗrograms is not the best answer because associate degree ṗrograms
ṗroduce the most new graduates.
B The ṗercentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.

nursing will be seen as a female-dominated ṗrofession.

B Asians and Native Hawaiian-Ṗacific Islanders are over
reṗresented in nursing comṗared to their ṗercentage of the
general ṗoṗulation.

nursing attendants need to increase, the ṗercentage of white nursing
attendants would have to decrease in order to more accurately reflect the
ṗoṗulation as a whole.
