REx-PN practice questions

Here are 20 free REx-PN practice questions we wrote from the 2027 REx-PN Test Plan, spread across its eight client needs areas in about the shares the plan gives them. Each has four options, one best answer and an explanation. The real exam is adaptive, with 90 to 150 items, so treat this as a quick check of what you know, not a mock exam.

Question 1 of 20

A practical nurse is caring for four clients on a medical unit. Which task is most appropriate to assign to an unregulated care provider (UCP)?

20 practice questions in the style of the exam.

How to use these 20 questions

Questions 1 to 4 are Management of Care, 5 to 7 Safety and Infection Prevention and Control, 8 and 9 Health Promotion and Maintenance, and 10 and 11 Psychosocial Integrity. Then come Basic Care and Comfort (12 and 13), Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies (14 to 16), Reduction of Risk Potential (17 and 18) and Physiological Adaptation (19 and 20).

Aim for 15 right, which is 75%. That’s our own target, not NCSBN’s. The real exam has no set percentage: the computer keeps choosing items until it’s 95% certain of your result against the passing standard, or until it reaches 150 items or runs out of time. If an answer doesn’t click, ask the tutor to explain it another way.

Where can you find more REx-PN practice questions?

NCSBN, which wrote the real exam, offers a free exam preview of 125 items similar to the real ones, and its candidate tutorial shows how each item type works on screen. The exam can also include fill-in-the-blank calculation items, which our set doesn’t have. Our 20 don’t come from NCSBN, so treat them as practice on the content, not a preview of real items.
