The NCLEX-PN examination includes questions of varying levels of difficulty; it may have fill-in-the-blank questions, charts, tables, and graphics; and it tests the cognitive levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, and analysis. Using multiple choice questions exclusively is incorrect, because alternate types of questions are used in the examination. Requiring the tester to select a single best answer for each question is inaccurate, because multiple answers may be correct for some questions. Integrating three of the four steps of the nursing process used by LPN/LVNs is incorrect, because all four steps of the LPN/LVN nursing process are integrated into the examination.
