NCLEX PRACTICE QUESTIONS EXAM 1COMPLETE TEST
A nurse is providing care based on Maslow's hierarchy of basic human needs. For which nursing
activities is this approach useful?
a. Making accurate nursing diagnoses
b. Establishing priorities of care
c. Communicating concerns more concisely
d. Integrating science into nursing care Correct Answer: b. Maslow's hierarchy of basic human needs
is useful for establishing priorities of care.
The nurse is prioritizing nursing care for a patient in a long-term care facility. Which examples of
nursing interventions help meet physiologic needs? Select all that apply.
a. Preventing falls in the facility
b. Changing a patient's oxygen tank
c. Providing materials for a patient who likes to draw
d. Helping a patient eat his dinner
e. Facilitating a visit from a spouse
f. Referring a patient to a cancer support group. Correct Answer: b, d. Physiologic needs—oxygen,
water, food, elimination, temperature, sexuality, physical activity, and rest—must be met at least
minimally to maintain life. Providing food and oxygen are examples of interventions to meet these
needs. Preventing falls helps meet safety and security needs, providing art supplies may help meet
self-actualization needs, facilitating visits from loved ones helps meet self-esteem needs, and
referring a patient to a support group helps meet love and belonging needs.
The nurse caring for patients postoperatively uses careful hand hygiene and sterile techniques when
handling patients. Which of Maslow's basic human needs is being met by this nurse?
a. Physiologic
b. Safety and security
c. Self-esteem
d. Love and belonging Correct Answer: b. By carrying out careful hand hygiene and using sterile
technique, nurses provide safety from infection. An example of a physiologic need is clearing a
patient's airway. Self-esteem needs may be met by allowing an older adult to talk about a past career.
An example of helping meet a love and belonging need is contacting a hospitalized patient's family to
arrange a visit.
The nurse caring for patients in a long-term care facility knows that the highest level on Maslow's
hierarchy of needs is self-actualization needs. Which statements accurately describe the
achievement of self-actualization? Select all that apply.
a. Humans are born with a fully developed sense of self-actualization.
b. Self-actualization needs are met by depending on others for help.
c. The self-actualization process continues throughout life.
d. Loneliness and isolation occur when self-actualization needs are unmet.
, e. A person achieves self-actualization by focusing on problems outside self.
f. Self-actualization needs may be met by creatively solving problems. Correct Answer: c, e, f. Self-
actualization, or reaching one's full potential, is a process that continues throughout life. A person
achieves self-actualization by focusing on problems outside oneself and using creativity as a
guideline for solving problems and pursuing interests. Humans are not born with a fully developed
sense of self-actualization, and self-actualization needs are not met specifically by depending on
others for help. Loneliness and isolation are not always the result of unmet self-actualization needs.
A nurse works with families in crisis at a community mental health care facility. What is the best broad
definition of a family?
a. A father, a mother, and children
b. A group whose members are biologically related
c. A unit that includes aunts, uncles, and cousins
d. A group of people who live together and depend on each other for support Correct Answer: d.
Although all the responses may be true, the best definition is a group of people who live together and
depend on each other for physical, emotional, or financial support.
A nurse performs an assessment of a family consisting of a single mother, a grandmother, and two
children. Which interview questions directed to the single mother could the nurse use to assess the
affective and coping family function? Select all that apply.
a. Who is the person you depend on for emotional support?
b. Who is the breadwinner in your family?
c. Do you plan on having any more children?
d. Who keeps your family together in times of stress?
e. What family traditions do you pass on to your children?
f. Do you live in an environment that you consider safe? Correct Answer: a, d. The five major areas of
family function are physical, economic, reproductive, affective and coping, and socialization. Asking
who provides emotional support in times of stress assesses the affective and coping function.
Assessing the breadwinner focuses on the economic function. Inquiring about having more children
assesses the reproductive function, asking about family traditions assesses the socialization function,
and checking the environment assesses the physical function.
The nurse caring for families in a free health care clinic identifies psychosocial risk factors for altered
family health. Which example describes one of these risk factors?
a. The family does not have dental care insurance or resources to pay for it.
b. Both parents work and leave a 12-year old child to care for his younger brother.
c. Both parents and their children are considerably overweight.
d. The youngest member of the family has cerebral palsy and needs assistance from community
services. Correct Answer: b. Inadequate childcare resources is a psychosocial risk factor. Not having
access to dental care and obese family members are lifestyle risk factors. Having a family member
with birth defects is a biologic risk factor.

appropriate for this older adult family?
