This document is an exam preparation guide for the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE), specifically designed to help nursing students ace their tests with a comprehensive set of questions and verified answers. The content includes a variety of clinical scenarios, each followed by multiple-choice questions with explanations for the correct answers. It aims to enhance the understanding of practical nursing skills and clinical decision-making. The scenarios presented involve different patients with unique medical conditions, requiring the practical nurse to apply their knowledge and judgment effectively. For instance, one case involves Ms. Moyer, a 20-year-old homeless woman with a fever, sore throat, and mental health issues, where the correct action is to have a physician assess her throat. Another scenario features Mr. Sutherland, a 34-year-old man with type 2 diabetes, where students must choose the proper insulin administration technique. These examples emphasize the importance of critical thinking in nursing practice.
