Light Comprehensive Form A B C 2026-2027 Actual Exam Questions with Answers & Verified
Rationales Complete Updated Study Resource, with the strongest emphasis placed on Apply
clinical judgment to prioritize and manage complex, multi-system patient scenarios across the
lifespan, Analyze pharmacological, laboratory, and diagnostic data to make safe, evidence-based
nursing decisions, Demonstrate competency in maternal-newborn, pediatric and and mental health
nursing standards of care. Every item follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet in
the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a guess.
Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come back to
them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam room
recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep going
- steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE AND MANAGE COMPLEX, MULTI-SYSTEM
PATIENT SCENARIOS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
A client with heart failure is prescribed furosemide 40 mg IV push. Which
assessment finding most urgently requires holding the dose and notifying the
provider?
A. Serum potassium 3.1 mEq/L CORRECT
B. Urine output 60 mL/hr
C. Blood pressure 118/72 mm Hg
D. Serum sodium 138 mEq/L
RATIONALE: Furosemide is a loop diuretic that causes potassium loss; a K+ of 3.1 mEq/L
predisposes to dysrhythmias and should be corrected before further diuresis. The other values
are within normal limits and do not require holding the dose.

, Q2 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE AND MANAGE COMPLEX, MULTI-SYSTEM
PATIENT SCENARIOS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
A laboring client at 39 weeks gestation has a Category III fetal heart tracing with
recurrent late decelerations, minimal variability, and a baseline of 170 bpm. After
repositioning, IV fluid bolus, and oxygen, the tracing persists. Which action
should the nurse anticipate next?
A. Continue monitoring and reassess in 30 minutes.
B. Prepare for immediate cesarean delivery. CORRECT
C. Administer terbutaline subcutaneously.
D. Increase oxytocin infusion to expedite delivery.
RATIONALE: A Category III tracing with persistent late decelerations and minimal variability
indicates fetal hypoxemia and warrants immediate delivery, typically by cesarean. Oxytocin would
worsen uteroplacental insufficiency; terbutaline is for tachysystole, not hypoxemia.
Q3 APPLY CLINICAL JUDGMENT TO PRIORITIZE AND MANAGE COMPLEX, MULTI-SYSTEM
PATIENT SCENARIOS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
A pediatric client with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is receiving vincristine. Which
assessment finding should the nurse report immediately as a sign of
neurotoxicity?
A. Alopecia
B. Constipation and abdominal pain
C. Decreased deep tendon reflexes and paresthesias CORRECT
D. Nausea and vomiting
RATIONALE: Vincristine causes peripheral neuropathy; decreased DTRs and paresthesias are
early signs of neurotoxicity requiring prompt notification. Alopecia, constipation, and nausea are
common but not immediate neurotoxic emergencies.
