Nutritional planning can play a role in NCLEX-RN test planning. Some tips and suggestions regarding nutrition in planning for the day of the exam and beforehand include: 1) plan to eat three well-balanced meals per day for at least three days before the exam; 2) plan foods for the day of the exam that do not cause intestinal distress or make you thirsty; and 3) limit the amount of fluids you drink before the exam to minimize the potential for a full bladder midway through the exam. While some people believe that fasting may aid in gaining clarity on certain situations, it is not recommended before or during this exam. Good nutritional intake is important before any type of test taking, especially an important test such as the NCLEX-RN exam.
