The shortage of nurses in America is not primarily caused by a lack of graduates of nursing schools. Rather, the shortage is primarily caused by the fact that salaries of experienced nurses do not match those of other professions and the environment in which nurses work has become more challenging in recent years.
Which of the following, if true, would lend most support to the conclusion above?
A. Many nurses already in the profession may not have been able to afford the tuition currently charged by nursing schools.
B. Nurses are entering the profession with a greater level of education today than in the past.
C. Some people who would like to become nurses have not been able to gain admission to nursing schools because those schools had no slots for additional students.
D. Many nurses have indicated that they left the profession primarily because of the long hours, stressful conditions, and inadequate pay.
E. Many people who have thought about nursing as a career have cited the formal educational requirements as a reason to seek another position in the health care field
First of all, in order to answer the strengthened question properly, you must ID the conclusion!
Conclusion:
the shortage is primarily caused by the fact that salaries of experienced nurses do not match those of other professions and the environment in which nurses work has become more challenging in recent years.
Paraphrase the conclusion:
A few nurses because of two things:
1. Little pay
2. Environment is not comfortable for nurses.
Therefore, the answer must lend support to the conclusion, that nurses are quitting this job because of these reasons!!
A. Many nurses already in the profession may not have been able to afford the tuition currently charged by nursing schools. ---
Out of scope, because nurses already studied, why they need to re-study?B. Nurses are entering the profession with a greater level of education today than in the past. ---
out of scope, because it weakens the conclusion that people are not pursuing the nurse! C. Some people who would like to become nurses have not been able to gain admission to nursing schools because those schools had no slots for additional students. -
- This is a tempting answer, as this is another reason the argument did not mention, but we are looking for some answers that support the provided ones.D. Many nurses have indicated that they left the profession primarily because of the long hours, stressful conditions, and inadequate pay.
