Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
CAT varies the question difficulty based on previous responses, provides an individualized exam, and requires the tester to answer a minimum of 85 questions. Client needs are not tested equally. The test plan calls for physiological integrity to be weighted more heavily than the other categories. Testing ends when a minimum of 85 questions have been answered and when 50 of the more difficult questions have been answered correctly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Medical emergencies are included in the Client Needs category Physiological Integrity. Newborn care is included in the Client Needs category Health Promotion and Maintenance. Stress management is included in the Client Needs category Psychosocial Integrity. Accident/error prevention is included in the Client Needs category Safe, Effective Care Environment.
