1. Which “of “the “following “could “eventually “change “the “historical “status “of “nursing “as “a “female-
dominated “profession?
a. More “men “graduating “from “baccalaureate “and “higher “degree “programs
b. The “proportion “of “men “in “nursing “beginning “to “increase
c. More “male “graduates “of “basic “nursing “programs “entering “the “workplace
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.
DIF: “Cognitive “Level: “Comprehension “REF: “MCS: “3
3. Which “of “the “following “is “a “correct “statement “about “the “registered “nurse “(RN) “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.
