Are you looking for the questionnaire in nursing board exam just this June 2009? Questions in medical surgical, psychiatric nursing, other branches of science you never expected, and application of everyday life in not so usual situation? I can give you some of the questions that I can still remember. Out of the nursing lessons in school, questions I have encountered are about insect and sting bite, jellyfish and snake bite. One question is like this. Your friend was attacked by a bee sting, what will you do as first-aid management? The options are the following; first is to accompany him in the bathroom wash it with running water and soap. Second option is to assess and pluck the sting. Third is to assess and scrape it. And I forgot about the fourth option. But the answer here is scraping of the skin.

Applying the elimination method in choosing the best answer you should remove the first and fourth option since there are two options that are almost the same with each other. Those are option B and option C. The thinking here is that you will only choose in those two almost the same option because 99% of the right answer is there. These termed as the quiet option while the option A and D are called distractors. The characteristic of distractors are long, and have a beautiful explanation that will attract the examiner to choose them. After eliminating two options you can just analyze again the situation and proceed with the right answer. For example I pluck the stinger, there’s a chance that I won’t remove it completely and just squeeze the venom sac while scraping the skin, can make the stinger pulled up. BON gave question about jellyfish that goes like this. What will you give as a rinsing solution? All the options sound good to the ear but the answer is only acetic acid. So if you will take the board exam remember the distractor and quiet one.Post a comment if you remember some questions you encountered in the board exam.
