How is the nursing shortage likely to impact patient care?
A) The current nursing shortage is highly overrated. Given the depressed economy more
individuals will seek to become nurses, and positions will be filled shortly.

(UAP). Delegation of care is likely to result in lower standards of care if the nurse fails to
properly supervise the care given.
C) Most individuals enter nursing because it is a "calling"; therefore, they would never allow a
shortage to impact patient care.
D) The nursing shortage is not likely to have a lasting effect as health care agencies will be
recruiting foreign nurses to fill employment vacancies.
