The NCLEX-RN is the national licensure exam every U.S. candidate must pass to practice as a registered nurse — a computer-adaptive test of safe, effective entry-level nursing across the Client Needs categories. Licensure is granted by your state board of nursing.
Since April 2023 the NCLEX-RN goes far beyond multiple choice. CertifyRN renders and grades all of them — including full unfolding case studies with a live client chart.

Airway and breathing take priority. New-onset shortness of breath with an oxygen saturation of 88% is the most physiologically unstable client and must be assessed first.
The client awaiting discharge teaching and the family's visiting-hours question are non-urgent. The client requesting pain medication matters, but pain is a lower priority than an acute oxygenation problem.
Regular insulin has an onset of about 30 minutes. Giving it at 0730 for an 0800 breakfast aligns its onset and peak with food intake, preventing hypoglycemia in the gap between the dose and the meal.
It doesn't target afternoon hyperglycemia — that's a longer-acting insulin's role. Lipodystrophy comes from reusing one injection site, not from timing. Insulin resistance is a chronic metabolic change unrelated to a single dose's timing.
Hypotension with compensatory tachycardia and cool, clammy skin reflects early hypovolemic shock, often from postoperative blood loss. Prompt recognition allows fluid resuscitation before decompensation.
Overload raises BP, a stress response would not cause hypotension, and anxiety alone does not produce clammy hypotension.
Standard precautions apply to all clients and direct the nurse to perform hand hygiene and wear gloves whenever contact with blood or body fluids is anticipated.
A negative-pressure room and an N95 respirator are airborne-precaution measures not indicated for a noninfectious client, and cohorting is a transmission-based strategy reserved for known infections.
A wet dressing after femoral catheterization may signal active bleeding or hematoma, so the nurse must directly assess the site and distal circulation before any other action.
Delegating reinforcement, documenting, or repositioning all defer the firsthand assessment that only the nurse can perform on a potentially bleeding site.
