w w w w w w w w w w w
B The percentage of men in nursing has increased 50% since 2000.
w w w w w w w w w w
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
w w w w w w w w w w w w
nursing. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: MCS: 2

2. The racial and ethnic composition of the nursing profession will change to
w w w w w w w w w w w

programs graduate and begin to practice.

w w w w w w w w w
the percentage of white nurses.

d. the nonwhite portion of the general population decreases.
w w w w w w w
ANS: A w
Feedback
A A larger percentage of minorities are enrolled in nursing educational programs
w w w w w w w w w w
than previously.
w w
B Asians and Native Hawaiian-Pacific Islanders are over represented in nursing
w w w w w w w w w
compared to their percentage of the general population.
w w w w w w w w
C Not only would the percentage of African-American and Hispanic nurses need
w w w w w w w w w w
to increase, the percentage of white nurses would have to decrease in order to
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
more accurately reflect the population as a whole.

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

c. The rate of aging of RNs has slowed for the first time in the past 30 years.
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
d. The majority of employed RNs working full time must work a second position.

Feedback
A The racial/ethnic composition of RNs is increasing, but does not approximate
w w w w w w w w w w
their percentage of the overall population.
w w w w w w
B The number of men entering nursing is increasing.
w w w w w w w
C The average age of RNs in both 2004 and 2008 was 46. This is a result of the numbers
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
of RNs under 30 in the workforce.
w w w w w w w
D According to 2008 data, only 12% of nurses working full time hold second
w w w w w w w w w w w w
positions. DIF: Cognitive Level: Knowledge REF: MCS: 3
w w w w w w w w
4. Despite the variety of work settings available to the RN, data from 2008 indicate that

w w w w w w w
ANS: A w
Feedback
A Slightly over 50% of RNs eventually obtain their bachelors of science in nursing
w w w w w w w w w w w w
(BSN) or a higher nursing degree.
w w w w w w
B The majority of nurses in this country get their initial nursing education in

w w w w w w w w w w w
patient care on a broader scale.
w w w w w w

w w w w w w w w w w w
