Management of Care — including prioritization and delegation — is heavily tested on the NCLEX-RN. These free questions build the clinical judgment the exam rewards.
The nurse is caring for four clients. Which client should the nurse assess first?
RATIONALE
Using the ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation), a new report of shortness of breath is a potential breathing problem and takes priority over comfort, teaching, or family concerns.
Which task is appropriate for the RN to delegate to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
RATIONALE
UAP can perform routine, standardized tasks on stable clients, such as vital signs. Assessment, medication administration, and care planning require a licensed nurse and cannot be delegated to UAP.
Which of these clients can the charge nurse safely assign to a newly licensed RN? Select all that apply.
RATIONALE
New nurses should receive stable, predictable clients. Fresh post-op clients and unstable clients requiring titration of vasoactive drips need experienced nurses.
These are just a few samples. NCA's full platform runs a real Computer Adaptive Testing engine with detailed rationales for every question.
