,Question 1
A practical nursing student is preparing to take the NCLEX-PN
examination. Which statement by the student indicates correct
understanding of computer adaptive testing (CAT)?
A. “Every candidate receives the same number of questions.”
B. “The examination adjusts question difficulty based on my
responses.”
C. “Questions become easier if I answer correctly.”
D. “I can skip difficult questions and return to them later.”
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
CAT selects questions based on the candidate’s previous
responses, adjusting the difficulty level throughout the
examination. Correct answers generally lead to more difficult
items. The number of questions varies among candidates, and
skipped questions are not permitted on the NCLEX-PN
examination.

Question 2
A nurse is using the clinical judgment model while caring for a
client with shortness of breath. Which action reflects the
“recognize cues” step?
A. Administering prescribed oxygen
B. Reviewing oxygen saturation and respiratory rate
C. Evaluating the client’s response to treatment
D. Determining priority nursing interventions
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Recognizing cues involves identifying relevant clinical
information such as assessment findings, vital signs, and
symptoms. Administering oxygen is an intervention, evaluating
response occurs later in the process, and determining priorities
aligns with generating solutions or taking action.
