Answer to Question 1

B, C, E, F
The CAT (Computerized Adaptive Testing) feature of the NCLEX-RN exam makes each RN candidate's exam unique and tailored specifically to them based on the answers they provide. Some characteristics of the CAT that pertain to the NCLEX-RN exam include: 1) computer technology selects items from a large pool of items (not a small pool); 2) after an item is answered, the computer calculates the candidate's ability based on the previous answers; 3) the next item is chosen that measures the candidate's ability most precisely in the appropriate test plan category; 4) the process is repeated for each item; and 5) this creates a unique exam tailored to the candidate's knowledge and skills while fulfilling all NCLEX-RN test plan requirements.

Answer to Question 2

D
Most health care organizations have mission statements that speak to providing high quality or
excellence in patient care. Some mission statements focus on providing care, educating health care
professionals, promoting research, and offering community-based activities.
