High vs Low Priority Question

Hello everyone

I came across this question where it asked 

What would you monitor, what should the nurse do or what are the nursing interventions after the doctor performed an amniocentesis at 24 weeks gestation? (Genetic Disorder testing) 

•Discharge the patient 
•Admit patient monitor mom and the fetus and keep on bed rest 

(Im trying to relocate the question but I don’t have the rest of answer options right now but the options had more words). 

Is a question like this considered high or low priority question? Or does it fall under Analyzing and Applying?

     I would say low priority.  You aren't having to use any judgement. This is just a basic question.

    I'd say analyzing and applying. What do you know (or will you know, LOL) about what's involved in an amniocentesis, what are the possible complications, how would you recognize them, and what would a prudent nurse do about nursing actions related to recognizing and/or preventing them?

    Thank you and I would agree. I tested last Tuesday and I didn’t do quick results because I was so scared. A week later I looked up my name and there was my license. Praise be to God. Being that I had 145 (all questions) means that the last question (amniocentesis) was a high level question which would require Analysis and Application.

    Maybe not basic for the computer. I passed with all the questions so it meant that it was a high level question
