What is the approximate percentage of male nurses in the nursing workforce?

7.0% 12.0% 9.4% 5.0%

Correct Answer:

9.4%

Explanation:

Understanding gender distribution in the nursing workforce shows that men are a minority; nursing has traditionally been female-dominated, with men making up roughly one in ten nurses. The figure around 9 to 10 percent reflects national surveys, and 9.4% sits right in that range as a precise, representative estimate. That proximity to the typical data makes it the best pick. The other numbers are farther from the common range reported by major surveys, which is why they’re less accurate representations of current practice.
