. - 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

Council. The test plan reflects entry-level nursing practice as identified by research and the job
analysis study of newly licensed registered nurses. Each candidate will receive different levels of
questions in a computer adaptive format. The focus of the exam is not on clinical specialties.
The test has a minimum of 75 questions and a maximum of 265 questions, so a test taker can
answer any number of questions between these two numbers until they either reaches a
passing standard or fails.
Question: In trends class, a student tells the instructor, "I don't think I can possibly pass the

"Perhaps you should consider retaking the psychiatric nursing course."
b.
"There are equal numbers of questions related to each aspect of client needs."
c.
"Psychosocial integrity is the basis for 6% to 12% of the examination."
d.
"You will need to take a review course in which they teach psychiatric nursing principles." -
