Answer to Question 1

B
Role incongruity occurs when occupational obligations conflict with personal or professional values.
Role ambiguity occurs when the expectations of the job are unclear.
Role overload occurs when there is too much to do in the time provided or when resources are inadequate for the job.
Role strain is the emotional reaction to role stress events. This nurse could be experiencing role strain, but role incongruity is more specific to this context.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Ethnic and racial minorities make up only about 18 of nursing students in baccalaureate and graduate programs today. The trends reflect growing ethnic and racial diversity in the country.
Men account for only 10 of BSN students today despite making up approximately 50 of the population.
Recent high school graduates are not included in demographic trends.
Underemployed groups rise and fall sporadically with economic changes and are not reflected in trends that nursing schools typically follow.
Recruitment of disabled students is not a trend in nursing school admissions.
