Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Implementing a dual-career ladder for nurses would allow experienced nurses to advance in their careers without having to move into management, which could potentially reduce turnover. This would also show that the organization values the contributions of experienced nurses and is willing to invest in their professional development. Option A may not necessarily solve the problem since older nurses could still want to advance in their careers. Option B may not be feasible for all nurses or within the budget of the organization. Option D may only provide a short-term solution and could create resentment among newer nurses who are not offered the same incentives.
