In trends class, a student tells the instructor, "I don't think I can possibly pass the NCLEX-RN®. I hated psych nursing, but now I've heard that a huge amount of the NCLEX® is psych related."
What is the best response from the instructor? a. "Perhaps you should consider retaking the psychiatric nursing course.".
b. "There are equal numbers of questions related to each aspect of client needs.".
c. "Psychosocial integrity is the basis for 6% to 12% of the examination.".
d. "You will need to take a review course in which they teach psychiatric nursing prin-ciples.".
C
The last detailed test plan (2013) from the National Council designated from 6% to 12% of the total questions to be from the area of psychosocial integrity. The student may not be able to re-take nursing courses or a review course. Stating that content area has the same amount of ques-tions would be inaccurate. Each of the categories of client needs has a different percentage, so questions are based on that percentage from the detailed test plan, not on equal numbers from each area. Students often hear incorrect information and rumors about NCLEX.
