Studies conducted to determine enrollment trends in nursing schools have found that in the last years:

  • A. a greater number of individuals chose nursing as a career but could not meet entrance requirements.
  • B. more young people chose to enter the profession of nursing.
  • C. fewer career opportunities exist in the profession of nursing and fewer opportunities are projected to exist for women.
  • D. men have dominated the profession, and women feel that they have experienced discrimination.
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it directly addresses the enrollment trends in nursing schools. The statement indicates that a greater number of individuals have chosen nursing as a career but could not meet entrance requirements, implying an increase in interest but a barrier to entry.

Explanation:
- Choice A directly relates to enrollment trends by highlighting an increase in interest but a challenge in meeting requirements.
- Choice B is incorrect as the question focuses on enrollment trends, not the age of individuals entering nursing.
- Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a decrease in career opportunities and projects a negative outlook for women, which is not supported by the question.
- Choice D is incorrect as it introduces a gender dynamic not mentioned in the question and does not address enrollment trends.
