- Did you assess before you implement? Having answered to do something instead of nothing because you failed to assess before implementing is definitely going to lose you a point.
- Did you always put the safety of the patient first? As LCLEX measures how competent you will be as a nurse, it would have been good if you already started to enforce the patient safety mantra during the exam.
- Did you answer by what you know from textbooks? Answering from what you experienced doing your clinical rounds won’t be any good.
- Did you keep the five rights of medication administration in mind? During and after the LCLEX, these will come in handy.
- Did you use therapeutic communication with patients in appropriate scenarios? Many questions seem like they have multiple correct answers, and when it comes to tending to patients, therapeutic communication towards them is always the best answer.
- And of course, did you review before the exam? If you answer no to this, then start reviewing for a retake.
If you think you covered all these major points, then rest assured you’ve shown your competence in nursing.
Going through LCLEX PN 85 questions, you can be confident you passed.

People who take the LCLEX PN 85 questions often dread that they’ve flunked it. Well with the computer shutting off on you after just 85 questions out of almost 300, and the almost constant feeling that you’re not answering the questions right, it’s understandable for them to think that way. The exam is designed so that if you answer one question correctly, the next one is going to be harder and vice versa: an easier one comes after a question answered incorrectly. The computer shuts off when it has properly assessed your capability to be a competent nurse in the future, so having it shut off after just 85 questions—or sometimes fewer—can really catch you off guard.
Well, taking LCLEX PN 85 questions only can also mean you’ve displayed your nursing acumen and competence without having trudge through over 200, and passed. But if you really want to be sure, look back and think.
- Did you prioritize? Maslow’s hierarchy of needs plays in real well with the which-patient-to-go-to-first questions. Did you look for words that establish priority that could help eliminate information you didn’t need?
- Did you make sure you knew your normals? Normal values make the LCLEX exam go ‘round. If you knew what was normal and abnormal and followed procedure either way, you’ve got that covered.
