Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Candidates signs an NCLEX-PN examination confidentiality clause prior to testing. Dr. Tom O'Neill, associate director, NCLEX-PN examination, states that, technically if students were to discuss the exam with an instructor, they would be in violation of the terms of confidentiality' they must agree to before they take the exam. These terms include not disclosing the content of the examination items before, during, or after the examination. Legal action could be taken against candidates that break the NCLEX-PN confidentiality clause, including criminal prosecution and civil litigation as well as other administrative disciplinary action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
One cannot apply to any state board of nursing and receive permission to take the NCLEX-PN until program completion has been certified by the school of nursing. Taking the NCLEX-PN examination is not contingent on any of the other options.
