Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Answering the practice questions provides orientation to the tester. Voice-activated computers are not used. Asking the test proctor for help if you get mixed up and using paper and pencil are not permitted.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The physiological integrity category of client needs includes basic care and comfort, pharmacological therapies, reduction of risk potential, and physiological adaptation. It comprises 41 to 65 of the questions. Questions from the other three categories make up the remainder of the test. The clinical problem-solving process is not a category of patient needs.
