SECTION 1: NURSING PROCESS, CRITICAL THINKING & PRIORITIZATION
Questions 1-10
Question 1
A nurse is caring for four patients. Which patient should the nurse assess first?
A) A patient with diabetes who has a blood glucose of 180 mg/dL
B) A patient with a fever of 101°F and nausea
C) A patient who is short of breath and has an oxygen saturation of 88%
D) A patient who is requesting pain medication
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The patient with shortness of breath and an oxygen saturation of 88% is the highest priority.
Airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) are the priority in nursing care. Hypoxemia (SpO2 <90%) requires
immediate intervention. The other patients
re stable
a but should be assessed after the priority patient .
Question 2
A nurse is delegating tasks to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which task is appropriate to delegate?
A) Administering oral medications
B) Assessing a patient's wound
C) Bathing a patient
D) Developing a care plan

NURSING I | CHAMBERLAIN | MOST TESTED | 100 VERIFIED Q&A | NGN-ALIGNED |
MULTIPLE-CHOICES | DETAILED RATIONALES | PASS GUARANTEED - A+ GRADED
Rationale: Bathing a patient is an appropriate task to delegate to a UAP. Medication administration and
nursing assessments (wound assessment, care planning) cannot be delegated to UAPs. The RN is responsible
for assessment, planning, and evaluation .
Question 3
A patient's blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg. The patient is dizzy and lightheaded. Which action should the
nurse take first?
A) Notify the healthcare provider
B) Administer IV fluids
C) Assess the patient's orthostatic blood pressure
D) Elevate the patient's legs
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The priority action is to assess the patient's orthostatic blood pressure to determine if the patient is
experiencing orthostatic hypotension. After assessment, the nurse should implement interventions and notify
the provider. Orthostatic hypote
nsion is a drop in systolic BP ≥20 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥10 mmHg within 3
minutes of standing .
Question 4
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a patient. Which action is most important to ensure patient
safety?
A) Check the patient's allergies
B) Verify the patient's identity using two identifiers
C) Check the medication order
D) Document the medication administration

Rationale: Verifying the patient's identity using two identifiers is the most important action to prevent
medication errors. This is part of the "right patient" check. The nurse should also check the medication order,
allergies, and document the administra
tion .
Question 5
A patient is expressing anxiety about an upcoming surgery. Which nursing intervention is most appropriate?
A) Administer a sedative
B) Provide emotional support and encourage expression of feelings
C) Tell the patient not to worry
D) Change the subject
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Providing emotional support and encouraging expression of feelings is the most appropriate
intervention for a patient with anxiety. The nurse should use therapeutic communication to help the patient
express and process their feelings. Sedatives
should only be used as a last resort .

A) Keep the bed in the lowest position
B) Apply restraints
C) Keep the bed rails up
