Being an advocate means informing and supporting someone in need, whether it be in healthcare, social justice, or other areas. While helping care for people and understanding human rights are important aspects of advocacy, they are not the sole defining characteristic. Knowing the legal system can be helpful in some situations but is not necessarily a requirement for advocacy. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 8

A major solution to the nursing shortage is to
A)pay nurses higher salaries.
B)improve work conditions and job satisfaction.
C)increase the number of men in nursing.
D)increase the amount of money students can receive for financial aid.

Accepted Answer

Improving work conditions and job satisfaction can increase the retention rate of current nurses and also attract new ones to the profession. Higher salaries and financial aid can also be helpful, but they may not address the underlying issues causing nurses to leave the field or dissuading people from entering it in the first place. Increasing the number of men in nursing may help diversity in the profession, but it may not have a significant impact on the overall nursing shortage.

Question 9

The problem with the nursing shortage is
A)not enough interest in nursing by students and not enough men in nursing.
B)supply and demand.
C)not enough minorities in nursing schools.
D)mainly a problem of a growing elder population.

Accepted Answer

The nursing shortage is primarily a issue of supply and demand. As the population and demand for healthcare services grows, there is not enough supply of nurses to meet the increasing demand. This is compounded by the fact that many current nurses are nearing retirement age, further decreasing the supply. While increasing interest in nursing among students and diversifying the nursing workforce can help address the issue, it ultimately comes down to supply and demand.
