When taking the NCLEX-PN, the nurse finishes the 204th question in four hours and realizes there is:

1. One hour to complete 56 more questions.
2. No chance of passing the exam.
3. A lot of pilot questions in this examination.
4. One more question before the test ends.

Question 2

The nurse working on a postpartum unit is asked by the new mother, Can I breastfeed even though I am HIV-positive? The nurse's best answer is:

1. You can try to breastfeed and see if you have enough milk.
2. HIV can be transferred to a baby though the mother's breast milk
3. No, you should not breastfeed.
4. Breastfeeding can be tiring, and you need to keep up your strength

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The maximum number of questions in the NCLEX-PN is 205, and the candidate is given five hours to complete the exam. 25 questions are pilot questions that do not count toward your score but are provided to test the validity of the questions.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The HIV infection is transmitted in breast milk, so breastfeeding is generally discouraged in mothers with the disease. Telling the mother simply no does not explain why breastfeeding is not recommended.
