SECTION I — INTRODUCTION

Questions 1–20

Question 1
Which nursing action best demonstrates patient-centered care?

,A. Following the same routine for every patient
B. Including the patient's preferences when developing care
C. Completing care as quickly as possible
D. Asking family members to make all decisions
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Patient-centered care recognizes the individual patient's values, preferences, needs,
and goals. Care should be individualized rather than based solely on a standardized routine.


Question 2

What is the primary purpose of establishing baseline vital signs?
A. To determine the patient's insurance status
B. To provide a reference for detecting changes
C. To replace the physical assessment
D. To determine the patient's diagnosis
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Baseline vital signs provide a comparison point for subsequent measurements. Trends
and changes from baseline can help identify deterioration or response to treatment.



Question 3

Which action is most effective for reducing transmission of microorganisms in healthcare
settings?

A. Wearing gloves continuously
B. Performing appropriate hand hygiene
C. Wearing a mask for every patient
D. Using antibiotics prophylactically

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hand hygiene is a fundamental infection-prevention practice. Gloves do not replace
hand hygiene, and PPE selection should be based on anticipated exposure risk.

A nurse enters a patient's room and introduces themselves before providing care. Which principle
is being demonstrated?

,A. Therapeutic communication
B. Delegation
C. Incident reporting
D. Medical diagnosis
Correct Answer: A

relationship with the patient.

B. A sudden change in mental status
C. A patient's preferred meal

A. Blood pressure of 138/82 mmHg
B. Temperature of 38.1°C
C. Patient reports feeling nauseated
D. Respiratory rate of 24/min

Rationale: Subjective data are symptoms reported by the patient. Objective data are findings that
can be observed or measured by the healthcare professional.



Question 7

Which finding is objective data?

, A. "I feel dizzy."
B. "My pain is severe."
C. "I am anxious."
D. Respiratory rate of 28/min
Correct Answer: D

A. Documenting completion
B. Identifying the patient correctly
C. Calling the patient's family
D. Obtaining discharge paperwork

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct patient identification is a fundamental safety step before care, treatment,
medication administration, specimen collection, and other interventions.
