Answer to Question 1

D
The instructor would recognize that further clarification is needed if a student suggested reservation
nurse. As opportunities arise for nurses outside the traditional roles of staff nurse of nursing
supervisor/administration, a variety of alternate career paths have opened up. Some of these are
certifications (i.e., APN, etc.), traveling nurse, flight nurse, pharmaceutical and health care sales, case
manager, and nurse entrepreneur.

Answer to Question 2

C
Decreased number of opportunities is not a reason. Reasons for the nursing shortage are increased
number of opportunities, aging workforce, stress and low job satisfaction, and faculty shortages in
nursing education.
