Answer to Question 1

B
The NCLEX-RN examination is the licensure examination used for registered nurses. The exam has a minimum of 75 and maximum of 265 questions per RN candidate.

Answer to Question 2

B
The unit-specific competency tool example of the Emergency Room provided in the text offers a
number of useful skills and critical-thinking concepts that are valuable for new nurses. Some of these
are to monitor data so that I am up to date on evidence based care for my patients, to network primarily
with other professionals (not only nurses), to participate in professional committees at work, to
communicate pride in being a nurse, to monitor data so that my patients are complication free and have
no nurse-sensitive outcomes, and to give and receive professional respect to the health care team.
