Good Luck!
11% of nurses across the country would like to leave the profession. However, this figure rises to 39% amongst nurses who are working alternating shift systems, which mix day, evening and night shifts. It was found that many nurses preferred one type of shift most of the time, whether that involved working early, late or through the night. Employers should urgently review staffing arrangements to avoid the compulsory, alternating patterns. This would make nurses’ working hours more compatible with their social and family lives. A further benefit would be a reduction in the cost of training new nurses to replace those leaving.
Explanation
The correct answer is A.
This argument addresses the issues around shift patterns worked by nurses. It talks about how many nurses prefer one type of shift, no matter what the time, therefore employees should be able to avoid compulsory alternating shift patters. As this would be better for their lives outside of work. Looking at the answer options C and E are stated points in the argument, D is not raised in the text, leaving options A and B. Although both are valid conclusions if we use the therefore test, it is clear that answer option A is the main valid conclusion for the argument.
