WHAT IS THE NCLEX-RN®?

Discover what you need to know about the NCLEX-RN exam, NCLEX-RN grading system, NCLEX-RN test availability, and the NCLEX-RN test format.

NCLEX-RN TEST FORMAT

FRAMEWORK

The NCLEX-RN® exam is organized according to the framework, “Meeting Client Needs.” There are four major categories and eight subcategories. Many nursing programs are based on the medical model where students take separate medical, surgical, pediatric, psychiatric, and obstetric classes. However, on the NCLEX-RN® exam, all of the content is integrated.

TYPES OF QUESTIONS ON THE NCLEX-RN

Questions are primarily multiple-choice with four possible answer choices; however, there are also alternate question types. Alternate question types include multiple-response, fill-in-the-blank, hot spots, chart/exhibit and drag-and-drop. All questions involve integrated nursing content.

Let’s look at the following question:

A 23-year-old woman with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is returned to the recovery room one hour after an uneventful delivery of a 9 lb., 8 oz., baby boy. The nurse would expect the woman’s blood sugar to

  1. rise
  2. fall
  3. remain stationary
  4. fluctuate

Is this an obstetrical question or a medical/surgical question? In order to select the correct answer, (2), you must consider the pathophysiology of diabetes along with the principles of labor and delivery.

NCLEX-RN CLIENT NEEDS

NCLEX-RN® questions are organized along four major Client Needs Categories. Let’s take a look:
