Sample NCLEX-PN practice questions
Try a few representative questions below. Each includes the correct answer and a short explanation — the same style you'll see in the full practice test.
- Question 1Basic Care and Comfort
A licensed practical nurse (LPN) is caring for a patient on bed rest. Which intervention best helps prevent a pressure injury on the coccyx?
- A.Massage the reddened area vigorously after each meal
- B.Reposition the patient at least every 2 hours and use pressure-redistribution surfaces(Correct)
- C.Keep the head of the bed flat at all times
- D.Apply a heating pad to improve circulation over bony prominences
Explanation
Frequent repositioning and support surfaces reduce sustained pressure and shear. Massage over non-blanchable redness can damage tissue; heating pads increase burn risk.
- Question 2Safety

- A.Evacuate the immediate area and notify the charge nurse per facility protocol(Correct)
- B.Mop the spill with hot water and open all windows
- C.Continue working and document at shift change
- D.Neutralize the spill with any available cleaning product
Explanation
Unknown or hazardous spills require protecting people first, then following SDS and facility spill protocols. Improvised cleanup can cause exposure or dangerous reactions.
- Question 3Health Promotion
When teaching a new parent about infant safe sleep, which statement by the parent indicates understanding?
- A."We'll use a firm mattress with a fitted sheet and place the baby on their back."(Correct)
- B."We'll add soft bumpers so the baby doesn't roll into the crib rails."
- C."We'll share our bed so we can monitor breathing more easily."
- D."We'll place the baby on their stomach because they sleep longer that way."
Explanation
ABC safe sleep: Alone, on the Back, in a Crib with a firm surface. Soft bedding, bumpers, and bed-sharing increase suffocation and SIDS risk.
