Answer to Question 2

C
Further clarification is needed if a student suggested taking a nap right before the exam. There are a
number of cautions concerning taking a nap right before the exam. If you have trouble waking up or
wake up drowsy or groggy, you will not be as mentally alert as you need to be in order to effectively
perform on the exam. Some tips for taking the NCLEX-RN exam as well as other test of the caliber
and length include good nourishment, avoid gaseous foods and minimize the potential for a full
bladder, comfortable wardrobe, and allow sufficient time to get the minimum amount of sleep you
need each night the week before the exam.
