Sample NCLEX Questions
You will have to pass NCLEX exam to be able to work in the U.S. as a Registered Nurse. The exam is similar to CGFNS exam. It measures your nursing skills and knowledge.
We suggest that you buy study materials of Kaplan.
Also
www.RNexpress.com is offering online
preperation classes. However, if you choose to come here with student visa then we will sign you up with Kaplan's NCLEX preparetion class and you will
study for the exam with their study materials here in the U.S. If you have passed CGFNS exam and you will come to the U.S. with an immigrant visa then we would suggest
that you start studying for NCLEX now.
Below sample questions are copied from
RNexpress website.
The nurse is evaluating the progress of an adolescent who suffered second- and third-degree burns over 30%
of his body 4 days ago. Which of the following would indicate that he is improving
A. He no longer feels pain.
B. All of his blisters have opened.
C. Revascularization occurs.
D. Blanching of the tissues stops.
Correct answer: C.
Rationales: Within 4 days of a burn injury, blood
vessels should reappear at the surface of the skin to begin to renourish the tissues. Because nerve endings are also burned
away in third-degree burns, absence of pain would not indicate improvement. Keeping blisters intact would help protect against
potential infection; open blisters are not a sign of improvement. Blanching of the tissues is a sign of revascularization.

The nurse is caring for a hospitalized client with severe pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Which of the following would be an appropriate nursing intervention for this client? A. Encourage visitors to spend time with her.
B. Keep her in the supine position.
C. Keep her room darkened and limit nurse visits.
D. Keep her on modified bed rest in a lateral position
Correct answer: D.
Rationales: Keeping the client in a lateral position would improve circulation
to the placenta; modified bed rest is preferred because strict bed rest can lead to thrombophlebitis. A client with severe
PIH should be protected from outside stimuli and too many visitors. Because the nurse must closely monitor the client,
nurse visits would not be limited.

A client with bipolar disorder is losing weight.
Which nursing intervention should take priority in the plan of care? A. Establish an eating place that is free from stimulation.
B. Determine the client's calorie requirements.
C. Create morning and evening rituals around eating.
D. Obtain an order for a sedative 2 hours before meals.
Correct answer: B.
Rationales: The nursing priority in this scenario is to set an appropriate
goal for weight stabilization; this cannot occur until the nurse determines the client's calorie requirements. Establishing a place to eat that
is free from distraction would also benefit this client, but it does not take priority over determining calorie requirements. Creating a ritual
or medicating the client before meals would not improve the client's nutritional status or meet the goal of weight stabilization.
