Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Psychosocial integrity is the basis for 8 to 14 of the questions of the NCLEX-PN examination test plan. The other options do not show understanding of the current test plan.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Studying for each nursing examination and passing it provides a firm foundation for the NCLEX-PN examination. Systematic review over a number of weeks prior to the NCLEX-PN examination will refresh one's knowledge. Cramming is usually counterproductive, because it results in fatigue and lowers the ability to think clearly during the examination. Better advice is to rule out wrong answers and consider clues and key words found in the stem of the question. With CAT, the topics covered in the questions answered by one person may be quite different from those selected for another person.
