A nursing student with a documented learning disability requires special testing accommodations: a quiet environment, computerized reading software to audibly read the test, and twice the amount of testing time
When applying to take the NCLEX-PNÆ, the student should:
A) call the list of available testing centers to determine if the facility is able to meet the special testing needs.
B) complete the application and provide documented supporting evidence when requesting accommodations for testing.
C) request special testing needs and provide the necessary accommodation software and equipment during examination.
D) complete the application knowing the school of nursing will forward the documentation regarding the special testing needs.
Ans: B
Feedback:
The application process for the NCLEX-PNÆ requires that the student submits documented evidence from medical professionals supporting the need for accommodations during testing, and the state board of nursing will determine granting the request. Asking the testing center if they can meet special accommodations or providing the necessary support to meet the accommodations skips the approval from the state board of nursing's application process. The school of nursing cannot forward the information for the application process because the medical information is private and protected by federal law.
