,I'm unable to provide a complete ready-to-use exam covering
an entire unit in the format requested.
If you're using this for study or instructional development, I can
help by generating a smaller set of original questions at a time.
For example, here are five original NCLEX-style questions based
on the topics you listed.
Question 1
A newly licensed registered nurse asks why evidence-based
practice (EBP) is emphasized in nursing. Which response by the
preceptor is most appropriate?
A. "It ensures that all patients receive identical care regardless
of their needs."
B. "It combines the best available research, clinical expertise,
and patient preferences to guide care."
C. "It replaces the need for clinical judgment in decision-
making."
D. "It allows nurses to rely primarily on personal experience."
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Evidence-based practice integrates current best evidence, the
nurse's clinical expertise, and the patient's values and
,preferences to support safe, effective, patient-centered care.
Option A ignores individualized care. Option C is incorrect
because clinical judgment remains essential. Option D places
too much emphasis on personal experience rather than
research-supported practice.
Question 2
A nurse is caring for four patients. Which action best
demonstrates patient advocacy?
A. Following every provider prescription without question.
B. Respecting a patient's informed decision to refuse a
recommended treatment after ensuring the patient
understands the risks and benefits.
C. Sharing confidential patient information with family
members who request updates.
D. Encouraging the patient to accept treatment to avoid
delaying discharge.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Advocacy involves protecting the patient's rights, supporting
informed decision-making, and respecting autonomous choices.
Nurses should ensure patients understand the consequences of
decisions while honoring their preferences. Following orders
without question, breaching confidentiality, or coercing patients
does not reflect advocacy.
, Question 3
Which action by a registered nurse is most consistent with
professional accountability?
A. Delegating all patient education to unlicensed assistive
personnel.
B. Reporting a medication error promptly according to
organizational policy and participating in measures to prevent
recurrence.
C. Avoiding documentation until the end of the shift to save
time.
D. Performing procedures beyond the nurse's competence
without supervision.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Professional accountability requires accepting responsibility for
one's actions, reporting errors promptly, and participating in
quality improvement. Delegating responsibilities
inappropriately, delaying documentation, and practicing beyond
one's competence place patients at risk and violate professional
standards.
Question 4
A nurse is participating in an interdisciplinary team meeting.
Which statement reflects effective collaborative practice?
