Ran across this website today. Another question of the week. However, I don't know what day of the week the question changes and when I clicked on the archived questions, it told me there were none archived. This may be a new site?

http://www3.us.elsevierhealth.com/cgi-bin/Mosby/CDOnline/Saxton/Question - Mosby's Question of the Week from Mosby's Comprehensive Review of Nursing. Also has archived questions that you can access.

Didn't see this site posted on this thread (unless my sight is bad) and I post it in messages all the time:

http://www.learningext.com/students/qofweek.asp - question of the week. Every Monday a question from the online NCLEX-RN examination course from NCSBN, the people who write the NCLEX.

A Measure of Success: Nursing Students and Test Anxiety

Anxiety reactions are common to situations perceived as threatening; however, excessive anxiety may paralyze an individual and interfere with effective functioning. Nursing students and nursing orientees face multiple stressors as they progress through a competitive and oftentimes grueling nursing program or job orientation. This article will focus on the experience of test anxiety in nursing students and new orientees and measures the nurse educator may employ in reducing this anxiety to facilitate learner progression through a nursing program or orientation.

The NCLEX-RN is emphasizing prioritization and delegation and you will undoubtedly encounter these types of questions in nursing school.

Prioritization questions may be written as:

The nurse (charge nurse) is overseeing care of ___ clients on __________. Or, concerning which of the following patient-care situations should the nurse notify the physician FIRST?

An example of prioritization question from this template:

The charge nurse is overseeing care of 10 clients on a general obstetrical floor. Concerning which of the following patient-care situations should the nurse notify the physician FIRST?

a. Prenatal client at 7 weeks gestation with nausea and vomiting and a whitish vaginal discharge.

b. A gravida 2 para 1 client at 28 weeks gestation with brownish facial blotches and +1 glucose and trace protein in a random urinalysis.

c. Seventeen-year-old client at 15 weeks gestation with missed abortion and bleeding from IV site.

d. Rh-negative client at 38 weeks gestation with blood pressure of 150/105, brisk reflexes, and generalized edema in hands and ankles.

Prioritization may also take this form on a question (written from a different angle):

You are the charge nurse on a unit and need to make a bed available for a new admission. Which of the following patients are you going to discharge FIRST?

For delegation, you will often encounter questions asking which patient care tasks/ roles can be delegated to the unlicensed personnel or to the LPN.

Here is an example of the delegation type of question:

The registered nurse has asked the unlicensed assistant to help with admitting an elderly client who has been diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia. Which of the following activities is appropriate for the nurse to ask the assistant to perform?

a. Assess the client's lung sounds.
b. Collect nursing history and assessment data.
c. Obtain the client's height and weight.
d. Evaluate the client's respiratory status.
