And Answers 100% Pass.



When selecting an NCLEX answer or determining the order of priority what should you
remember or use and what is the exception? - answer✔Use the ABC rule: Airway breathing, and
circulation. The exception to the rule is with actual CPR, use C-A-B for CPR. Also remember
safety first and acute before chronic. If the pt. is not in distress then you assess. If the pt is in
distress then you should do something. If the pt has diaphorisis you should always do something.

How should you address questions related to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - answer✔Address
physiological needs first, followed by safety and security needs, love and belonging needs, self
esteem needs and finally self actualization needs. *When a physiological need is not addressed in
the question, look for the option that addresses safety.
If a question is related to the nursing process, read the question to determine the step of the
nursing process. What are the steps in the nursing process and what kind of question might be
related to that step. - answer✔Assessment question address the gathering and verification of data.


Analysis questions require the nurse to: interpret data, collect additional information, identify
and communicate nursing diagnoses and determine the health team's ability to meet the pts
needs.


Planning questions ask about determining, prioritizing, and modifying outcomes of care.


Implementation questions reflect the management and organization of care and the assignment
and delegation of tasks. Be prepared for questions on client teaching.
