Testing strategies to review…
• Analyze the situation described in the question.
• Treat each question as a NEW situation unless either wise directed.
• Determine what the question is asking.
• ACCEPT that what is the correct nursing action/ answer for one item MAY NOT be
CORRECT in another scenario.
• Select the answer that represents the safest nursing judgment.
• Identify the topic of the question.
• Select an answer by eliminating choices.
• Do not use background information unless absolutely necessary.
• Do not “read into” the question.
• Think about what the answer choices really mean
• THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION:
• Open ended responses
• Nonjudgmental response
• ONLY use YES or No questions in a crisis situation.
• “Why”. Places people on the defensive.
• Delegation/ Assignment
• ONLY AN RN MAY:
• Assess
• Teach
• Perform a skill that requires “clinical judgment”
• POSITIONING:
• Are you being asked to prevent or promote something?
• Does it address the problem?
