. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > ANS: B
The purpose of the NCLEX-RN® Exam is to determine whether a
candidate is competent to perform safe, effective, entry-level nursing
care. It does not prepare nurses but rather measures their performance
on a test. Candidates who are unsuccessful receive information about
,their weak areas on the test, but this is not the purpose of it. Employers
want to know if the person has passed because there is no specific
score given other than pass or fail
The graduate nurse is preparing to take the NCLEX-RN® Exam. Which
blueprint category is interpreted as having the highest percentage of
test items?
a.
Safe, effective care environment
c.
Psychosocial integrity
b.
Physiological integrity
d.
Health promotion and maintenance - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > ANS: B
The area of physiological integrity makes up about 50% of the test plan.
This is the area that covers basic nursing care and comfort,
pharmacological and parenteral therapies, reduction of risk potential,
and physiological adaptation. Safe, effective care; psychological
integrity; and health promotion and maintenance will cover less than
this.
Which statement by the nursing professor is accurate about the NCLEX-
RN® exam? The purpose of the NCLEX-RN® test plan is to ensure that all
a.
,"test takers answer items of comparable difficulty."
b.
"test takers answer approximately the same number of items."
c.
"test items are job related."
d.
"clinical specialties will be equally represented." - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > ANS: C
The content of the NCLEX® Exam is based on a test plan that is
determined by the National Council. The test plan reflects entry-level
nursing practice as identified by research and the job analysis study of
newly licensed registered nurses. Each candidate will receive different
levels of questions in a computer adaptive format. The focus of the
exam is not on clinical specialties. The test has a minimum of 75
questions and a maximum of 265 questions, so a test taker can answer
any number of questions between these two numbers until they either
reaches a passing standard or fails.
In trends class, a student tells the instructor, "I don't think I can possibly
pass the NCLEX-RN®. I hated psych nursing, but now I've heard that a
huge amount of the NCLEX® is psych related." What is the best
response from the instructor?
a.
"Perhaps you should consider retaking the psychiatric nursing course."
b.
, "There are equal numbers of questions related to each aspect of client
needs."
c.
"Psychosocial integrity is the basis for 6% to 12% of the examination."
d.
"You will need to take a review course in which they teach psychiatric
nursing principles." - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > ANS: C
The last detailed test plan (2013) from the National Council designated
from 6% to 12% of the total questions to be from the area of
psychosocial integrity. The student may not be able to retake nursing
courses or a review course. Stating that content area has the same
amount of questions would be inaccurate. Each of the categories of
client needs has a different percentage, so questions are based on that
percentage from the detailed test plan, not on equal numbers from
each area. Students often hear incorrect information and rumors about
NCLEX.
Which statement indicates the graduate nurses understanding of the
process at the NCLEX® testing site?
a.
"I will be thumbprinted and photographed."
b.
"I will be placed in a locked testing cubicle."
c.
"I will answer 300 test questions."
