. - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔ANS: B
The purpose of the NCLEX-RN® Exam is to determine whether a candidate is
competent to perform safe, effective, entry-level nursing care. It does not prepare
nurses but rather measures their performance on a test. Candidates who are
unsuccessful receive information about their weak areas on the test, but this is
not the purpose of it. Employers want to know if the person has passed because
there is no specific score given other than pass or fail
