Sample NCLEX-Style Practice Questions

Test your knowledge with these five sample questions from the test bank.

Question 1

Topic: Infection Control & Patient Safety

A nurse is caring for a client placed on Contact Precautions for a Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection. Which action by the nurse shows proper infection control practice?

A. Cleaning hands with an alcohol-based hand rub before entering the room.

B. Washing hands with soap and water after removing gloves.

C. Wearing an N95 respirator mask before entering the client’s room.

D. Placing the client in a negative-pressure airflow room.

• Correct Answer: B. Washing hands with soap and water after removing gloves.
• Rationale: C. diff produces bacterial spores that are resistant to alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Physical washing with soap and water is required to remove these spores from hands. Masks and negative-pressure rooms are used for airborne infections, not contact infections.

Question 2

Topic: Nursing Process & Assessment

A nurse collects subject data during an admission assessment. Which statement by the client is an example of subjective data?

A. “My blood pressure reading yesterday was 130/80 mmHg.”

B. “I have a sharp pain in my lower back when I bend down.”

C. The client’s surgical wound site is red and warm to touch.

D. The client’s heart rate is 88 beats per minute.

• Correct Answer: B. “I have a sharp pain in my lower back when I bend down.”
• Rationale: Subjective data consists of feelings, perceptions, or symptoms reported directly by the client. Pain is subjective because only the patient can feel it. Physical exam findings and vital sign measurements are objective data observed by the nurse.

Question 3

Topic: Vital Signs & Clinical Judgment

A nurse measures the vital signs of an adult client at rest. The readings are: Heart rate 112 bpm, Blood pressure 118/76 mmHg, Respiratory rate 16 breaths/min, Temperature 98.6°F (37°C). Which term accurately describes the client’s heart rate?

A. Bradycardia

B. Tachycardia

C. Bradypnea

D. Tachypnea

• Correct Answer: B. Tachycardia
• Rationale: A normal adult resting heart rate ranges between 60 and 100 beats per minute. A heart rate above 100 beats per minute is classified as tachycardia. Bradycardia refers to a slow heart rate (below 60 bpm). Bradypnea and tachypnea refer to breathing rates.

Question 4

Topic: Patient Safety & Mobility

A nurse is helping a weak client ambulate from the bed to a chair. What is the most important safety action the nurse should take before starting the transfer?

A. Put a gait belt around the client’s waist.

B. Ask the client to perform arm raise exercises.

C. Place a pillow on the chair seat.

D. Administer pain medication immediately after moving.

• Correct Answer: A. Put a gait belt around the client’s waist.
• Rationale: Using a gait belt provides a secure point of control for the nurse during transfers. It prevents falls and reduces injury risk for both the client and the nurse. Performing exercises or placing pillows are not primary safety priorities during a transfer.

Question 5

Topic: Ethics & Professional Nursing

A nurse respects a competent adult client’s decision to refuse a recommended blood transfusion. Which ethical principle is the nurse upholding?

A. Beneficence

B. Autonomy

C. Justice

D. Fidelity

• Correct Answer: B. Autonomy
• Rationale: Autonomy is the ethical principle of respecting a patient’s right to self-determination and personal decision-making. As long as the client is competent, they have the legal and ethical right to refuse any medical treatment. Beneficence refers to doing good, and fidelity refers to keeping promises.
