Nursing 110 Exam 1 100 Questions 2026 – Nursing Process, Infection Control, Patient Safety

This document contains approximately 100 exam-style questions with verified answers for Nursing 110 Exam 1 . It provides a comprehensive review of foundational nursing concepts, including the nursing process (ADPIE), communication tools such as SBAR, infection control principles, and patient safety strategies. The material is presented in a structured question-and-answer format, making it highly effective for exam preparation, active recall, and NCLEX-style practice. As shown in the early sections (pages 1–3), it covers key nursing roles (caregiver, communicator, educator, counselor, leader), subjective vs. objective data, and step-by-step application of the nursing process. It also emphasizes clinical communication using SBAR and differentiates actual vs. potential nursing diagnoses. In addition, the document provides in-depth coverage of infection control and patient safety (pages 3–5), including stages of infection (incubation to convalescence), healthcare-associated infections (MRSA, VRE, C. diff), and safety protocols such as fall prevention and proper documentation standards (Joint Commission “Do Not Use” list). It also highlights evidence-based practice (EBP), HIPAA regulations, OSHA guidelines, and QSEN competencies, reinforcing safe and effective care delivery. Later sections (pages 5–9) focus on patient positioning techniques (Fowler’s, Sims, Trendelenburg), mobility concepts (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction), and foundational nursing theories from Florence Nightingale, Jean Watson, Madeleine Leininger, and Patricia Benner. It also integrates Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a framework for prioritizing patient care, supporting clinical decision-making and holistic nursing practice. This resource is ideal for students enrolled in Fundamentals of Nursing, Introduction to Nursing, and Pre-Licensure Nursing courses. It is particularly beneficial for first-year BSN students, ADN students, and accelerated nursing program students preparing for Exam 1, quizzes, or NCLEX-style assessments. It may also support healthcare students seeking a strong foundation in nursing process, infection control, and patient safety principles. The content aligns closely with widely used textbooks such as Potter and Perry’s Fundamentals of Nursing, which covers nursing process, safety, communication, and foundational clinical skills.
