Based on the same categories that are included on the official exam provided by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN).
Welcome to the first NCLEX-RN practice test for Reduction of Risk Potential. This is one of the four subcategories of the Client Need, Physiological Integrity. It will be between 9 and 15% of your NCLEX, focusing on the nurse’s role in decreasing the likelihood that a client will develop complications from existing conditions, treatments, or procedures. Test items on the examination can include changes or abnormalities in vital signs, reviewing and interpreting diagnostic tests, understanding laboratory values, specific assessments for each body system, and therapeutic procedures, such as anesthesia and pre- or post-operative care. This practice test has questions about arterial blood gases (ABGs), abnormal laboratory values, breath sounds, blood administration, and client education on allergies. Begin this test at any time. If you leave any test before it’s finished, it will remind you where you are when you return. Read each question carefully and try to think of the answer. If you need help, click on the Hint button that’s under the fourth option to get a sentence that serves as a reminder. If you select the correct response, you’ll automatically advance to the next question. If you make a mistake, an explanation will immediately pop up to provide the rationale for the correct answer. Each time you take a practice test, the questions and options are shuffled into a different random order. These are two proven techniques that reinforce your learning.
