Answer to Question 1

D
Minority enrollments into nursing school have been increasing, but these numbers are still not reflective of their numbers in the general population.
Males comprise only slightly more than 5 of faculty members
Minority enrollments have been growing but not at an exponential rate.
Minorities are underrepresented in health care today.

Answer to Question 2

C
Interventions for role problems need to be specific and individualized, based on the type of role strain that is actually occurring and on the precipitating factors. Each type of role disharmony has specific strategies to help manage it.
A new manager might need assistance dealing with role problems, but this is not the best answer. This manager may have had previous managerial experience in another field or might be quite skilled in dealing with problems on the unit.
Having a plan of action available for common problems is always a good idea.
Role problems can be the result of a poor fit, but they can also be caused by things that can be addressed, such as uncertainty about expectations or spending too much time on tasks that can be delegated.
