Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Elimination of health disparities is an area of the NINR's research emphasis. Economically disadvantaged inner-city residents may not receive the same amount of resources as other populations. This is an example of a potential health disparity.
Rationale 2: Nursing workforce numbers is not an area of the NINR's current research emphasis. The areas are promoting health and preventing disease, improving quality of life, eliminating health disparities, and setting direction for end-of-life research.
Rationale 3: Research into medication efficacy is not an area of the NINR's current research emphasis. The areas are promoting health and preventing disease, improving quality of life, eliminating health disparities, and setting direction for end-of-life research.
Rationale 4: Job satisfaction among nurses is not an area of the NINR's current research emphasis. The areas are promoting health and preventing disease, improving quality of life, eliminating health disparities, and setting direction for end-of-life research.
