2026 EXAM 1 C7 NUR1023C FSCJ
POSSIBLE QUESTIONS AND PRACTICE
QUESTIONS
This second installment of the NUR1023C Exam 1 (C7) mastery series provides 50 high-
yield practice questions focusing on developmental milestones (Erikson/Piaget),
advanced physical assessment techniques, and infection control protocols. Each
multiple-choice question includes a technical rationale and bolded answers to reinforce
clinical judgment regarding medication administration safety and pediatric growth
standards. Designed specifically for FSCJ nursing students, this "Graded A+" resource
ensures a comprehensive review of the core health and wellness concepts required for a
passing score on your first exam.
Which step of the nursing process involves the collection of subjective and objective
data?
A) Assessment
B) Diagnosis
C) Planning
D) Evaluation
Rationale: Assessment is the foundational step where the nurse gathers all
baseline data to form a clinical judgment.
A patient tells the nurse, "I have a sharp pain in my right hip." This is an example of:
A) Subjective data
B) Objective data
C) Secondary data

According to Erikson, the developmental task for an infant (birth to 1 year) is:
A) Autonomy vs. Shame
B) Trust vs. Mistrust
C) Initiative vs. Guilt
D) Industry vs. Inferiority
Rationale: Infants learn to rely on caregivers for basic needs; failure leads to
lifelong mistrust.
Which type of immunity is gained when a mother passes antibodies to her fetus
through the placenta?
A) Active Natural
B) Active Artificial
C) Passive Natural
D) Passive Artificial
Rationale: "Passive" because the baby didn't make the antibodies; "Natural"
because it happened via a biological process.
A nurse is preparing to administer an intramuscular (IM) injection. What is the
standard needle length for an average adult?
A) 1/2 inch
B) 1 to 1.5 inches
C) 3 inches
D) 5/8 inch
Rationale: IM injections must reach deep muscle tissue; 1–1.5 inches is
standard for the deltoid or ventrogluteal sites.
The "First Pass Effect" primarily occurs in which organ?
A) Kidneys
B) Liver
C) Lungs
D) Stomach
Rationale: Oral medications are absorbed in the GI tract and carried to the liver,
where they may be partially metabolized before reaching systemic circulation.
Which vital sign should the nurse assess first in an emergency situation to determine
perfusion?
A) Temperature
B) Pulse
,2026 UPDATED QUESTIONS DOWNLOAD
C) Respiratory Rate
D) Oxygen Saturation
Rationale: Checking a central pulse (like the carotid) is the quickest way to
assess if the heart is effectively pumping blood.
When assessing a patient's blood pressure, the first clear tapping sound heard is
the:
A) Systolic pressure
B) Diastolic pressure
C) Pulse pressure
D) Mean arterial pressure
Rationale: The first Korotkoff sound represents the peak pressure in the arteries
during ventricular contraction.
According to Piaget, a child in the "Sensorimotor" stage (birth to 2 years) learns
primarily through:
A) Motor actions and sensory perceptions
B) Abstract reasoning
C) Logical thought
D) Social interaction only
Rationale: Infants explore the world by touching, tasting, and moving.
Which of the following is a "Right" of medication administration?
A) Right Room
B) Right Nurse
C) Right Route
D) Right Hospital
Rationale: The "Six Rights" include Right Patient, Drug, Dose, Route, Time, and
Documentation.
A patient with a BMI of 28 is classified as:
A) Underweight
B) Normal weight
C) Overweight
D) Obese
Rationale: Normal BMI is 18.5–24.9; 25–29.9 is considered overweight.

To prevent the spread of infection, what is the single most important nursing action?
A) Wearing a mask
B) Hand hygiene
C) Using sterile gloves for all tasks
D) Capping used needles
Rationale: Handwashing is the most effective way to break the chain of infection.
A nurse notes a patient's respiratory rate is 24 breaths per minute. This is
documented as:
A) Bradypnea
B) Tachypnea
C) Apnea
D) Eupnea
Rationale: Normal adult RR is 12–20; anything over 20 is tachypnea.
"Active Artificial" immunity is achieved through:
B) Vaccinations
C) Contracting the illness
D) Breast milk
A) IV Immunoglobulins
Rationale: Vaccines "trick" the body into actively producing its own antibodies
without causing the full disease.
What is the primary site for drug excretion in the body?
A) Liver
B) Kidneys
C) Sweat glands
D) Large intestine
Rationale: The kidneys filter the blood and remove water-soluble drug
metabolites via urine.
A nurse is performing a physical assessment. Which technique involves tapping the
body to produce sound?
A) Inspection
B) Palpation
C) Percussion
D) Auscultation
