Free NCLEX practice questions

Here are 20 free, original NCLEX-style questions on nursing basics: priorities, delegation, safety, infection control and medicines. Each one is standalone multiple choice, and each answer comes with a plain-English rationale. We use 70% (14 right) as a practice target, which is our own goal, not an NCLEX rule. The real exam has 85 to 150 questions, adapts to your answers and also uses case studies and other question types.

Question 1 of 20
