Which actions would result in a greater number of nurses entering and staying in practice, given today's state of nursing? (select all that apply)

  • A. Determine why few black women enter graduate school.
  • B. Provide incentives for minorities and men to enter nursing.
  • C. Obtain grant funding to increase the number of faculty members and scholarship availability for students entering baccalaureate nursing programs.
  • D. Survey nurses to determine why their job satisfaction is lower than that of other health care professions.
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Provide incentives for minorities and men to enter nursing. This is because increasing diversity in the nursing profession can help address shortages and improve patient care. Incentives can attract underrepresented groups and address disparities.

A, determining why few black women enter graduate school, may address a specific subgroup but not the broader issue of nursing shortages.

C, obtaining grant funding for faculty and scholarships, may help improve education opportunities but may not directly address the retention and recruitment of nurses.

D, surveying nurses about job satisfaction, is important but may not directly address attracting more nurses into the profession or keeping them in practice.
