ANS: B, D
Correct
It is projected that as many as 75% of current faculty will retire by 2019. This will impact large numbers of schools and can limit enrollment.
Incorrect
The number of qualified applicants has increased, but more than 30,000 applicants were turned away from bachelor's degree programs for "lack of capacity." More men are entering nursing, which should help increase recruitment of other men into the field. More male faculty could also help recruitment of men into nursing. There is continued demand for doctoral education in nursing.
