Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
A workforce that reflects the population is more likely to meet the healthcare needs
of that population in a culturally sensitive manner. It is simplistic to presume that the solution to
discrimination lies with fewer Caucasians and more minorities. Similarly, increasing the
number of cultures represented within nursing will not necessarily eliminate discrimination.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Prominent among the causes of burnout is a conflict between ideals and reality. As
well, practice environments with high mortality rates are associated with burnout. Poor physical
health predisposes a nurse to burnout, but this is likely less salient than the combination of
disillusionment and high acuity. New graduates and those approaching retirement are not
particularly predisposed to burnout.
