Answer to Question 1

B
NLN statistical data revealed that even though there has been an increase in student enrollment in
nursing programs, the number of qualified instructors has continued to decline, hence causing potential
students to be rejected or placed on waiting lists.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Planning and preparation for the NCLEX-RN exam also includes attention to sleep, nutrition, and wardrobe. Some tips regarding sleep and wardrobe include: 1) plan to get minimum sleep to function effectively at least three days before the exam (not only on the day of the exam); 2) wear comfortable clothing on the day of the exam; 3) have the clothes you will wear on the day of the exam ready the night before; 4) do not stop taking routine medications during the test; and 5) avoid introduction of new medications until after the completion of the exam. (It is not recommended to make any changes in your regular medication routine directly before or during the day of the exam.)
