Example NCLEX professionalism practice questions
A nurse realizes she gave a medication dose one hour late on the previous shift. What should she do first?Report the delay promptly to the charge nurse or prescriber and follow the facility's incident reporting process. Prompt disclosure protects the patient and reflects accountability.
A patient asks the nurse to keep a new diagnosis from the patient's spouse. What is the best response?Do not promise secrecy; explain that the patient controls who receives their health information and involve the provider. The patient's right to decide who is informed governs this request.
True or false: a nurse may accept an expensive gift from a grateful patient without reporting it.False. Nurses follow facility gift policies because large gifts can compromise the therapeutic relationship and professional boundaries.
A supervisor asks a nurse to chart vital signs she did not take. What is the appropriate action?Refuse to document them and report the request to a higher authority. Records must reflect care actually provided, and falsified documentation violates legal and ethical standards.
During a busy shift, a nurse is asked to perform a procedure she has not been trained or licensed to do. What should she do?Decline the task and notify the charge nurse, since nurses are accountable for practicing within their scope and competence.
