ANS: B, C, D
Correct
"Use of traveling nurses," "development of associate degree programs," and "importation of nurses from English-speaking countries" are correct because all have been used to increase the numbers of practicing nurses.
Incorrect
"Implementation of team nursing" is incorrect because although the implementation of team nursing was intended to improve nurse availability, it did not increase the number of nurses. Registered care technicians were "nurse extenders" proposed by the AMA to ease the shortage, but this solution was quickly defeated.
