A faculty member explains to a group of nursing students about the functions of the National Council of
State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). Which item(s) does the faculty member include in this description?
A. Determines application and registration process
B. Negotiates passing scores in different states
C. Provides equipment and sites for testing
D. Schedules, administers, and scores the exam
E. Sets specific deadlines for testing in each state - --CORRECT ANSWER----A. Determines application and
registration process
E. Sets specific deadlines for testing in each state
The NCSBN determines the application and registration processes and sets deadlines related to testing
in each state. The passing score is the same in all states. Pearson VUE is a vendor selected by the NCSBN
to provide equipment and testing sites and to schedule, administer, and score the exams.
A graduate nurse is selecting an NCLEX-RN review course. This student graduated at the top of the class,
is organized, plans study time, and feels fairly confident in the ability to pass the NCLEX-RN exam. Which
type of review course would be best for this graduate to select?
A. Face-to-face, 3-day course
B. None; study can be independent
C. Online, asynchronous course
D. Online, real-time course - --CORRECT ANSWER----B. None; study can be independent
This student would probably be a good candidate for independent study with a review book rather than
taking a review course (able to make and stick to a study schedule, top 25% of the class, experience with
general medical-surgical patients, and confident about passing the exam). An asynchronous online
course would be good for independent learners who need more guidance than self-study. A real-time
online course and face-to-face course would be good for those who don't plan independent time well.

A graduate nursing student has received an Authorization to Test and has scheduled the exam.
However, a family emergency has occurred and the graduate needs to reschedule. Which action is best?
A. Call the state board of nursing and request an extension.
B. E-mail the testing site prior to 1 hour of your test time.
C. Notify a Pearson VUE agent 24 hours in advance.
D. Wait to reschedule until after the crisis has passed. - --CORRECT ANSWER----C. Notify a Pearson VUE
agent 24 hours in advance.
There are two ways to reschedule an exam: either go to the NCLEX Candidate website and reschedule or
call an agent at Pearson VUE at least 24 hours or 1 business day in advance. There are no exceptions to
this policy. Waiting until after the crisis is over will cause the applicant to lose the application fee for a
no-call, no-show.
A nurse and health care provider are talking in the hallway about a patient's condition. The health care
provider says that the patient needs an x-ray. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
A. Document the order and facilitate the patient having the x-ray.
B. Explain that you will call x-ray when the health care provider inputs the order.
C. Inform the health care provider that verbal orders are prohibited now.
D. Repeat the order to the health care provider and document it in the chart. - --CORRECT ANSWER----B.
Explain that you will call x-ray when the health care provider inputs the order.
Verbal orders should only be taken during an emergency situation or when it is physically difficult for the
physician to write or put in the order himself or herself, such as during a sterile procedure. Because
neither is the case here, the nurse should explain that as soon as the order is properly put into the
system, he or she will facilitate the study. The nurse should not document the order or say that verbal
orders are prohibited because there are circumstances in which they are still appropriate.
A nurse is being interviewed for a new job after working on a medical-surgical unit for 1 year. The
interviewer asks why he is leaving his current job. Which is the best answer by the nurse?

A. "After some great experience, it's time to move to my career goal position."
B. "I think I learned all I could working on the medical-surgical unit for a year."
C. "It was too busy for me; I had trouble managing a large patient workload."
D. "The manager did not like me, and there were no other men working there." - --CORRECT ANSWER----
A. "After some great experience, it's time to move to my career goal position."
When giving a reason for leaving a position, the nurse should remain positive and professional and not
burn bridges. Stating that he thinks it's time to move to a position more in line with his career goals is a
good option for the nurse. Stating that he has learned all he can makes him seem dismissive of the
current job. The other two options (that the unit was too busy with a large patient workload and the
manager didn't like me and there were no other men working on the unit) sound too much like
complaints.
A nurse is concerned about possible burnout. Which action should the nurse perform first?
A. Begin reading self-help books on maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
B. Determine if the cause of burnout is internal, external, or both.
C. Look for another job in a facility that has a less stressful workload.
D. Volunteer to join a committee that impacts patient-care practices. - --CORRECT ANSWER----B.
Determine if the cause of burnout is internal, external, or both.
The first step in analyzing possible burnout is to determine if the cause of the burnout is internal,
external, or both. Internal factors leading to burnout can be mediated with self-help strategies and by
living a more balanced lifestyle. External factors such as conditions in a place of employment may not be
amenable to change, and the nurse may have to find other employment. But prior to taking any action
such as reading self-help books, looking for another job, or volunteering to be on a committee, the
nurse should first determine where the stress is coming from. In fact, if the nurse is already
overextended at work, joining a committee may add to his or her distress.
