Free KY-NJE Practice Questions

Question 1

An RN delegates a capillary blood-glucose check to a competent UAP for a stable patient and gives clear reporting limits. Before performing the task, the UAP reports that the patient now has chest pressure and diaphoresis. What should the RN do next?

Accepted Answer

Reassess the patient immediately and take over decisions and interventions because the condition has changed

Answer

Have the UAP obtain the glucose result first because the original delegation was valid when assigned

Answer

Direct the UAP to call the provider and continue independently while the RN completes scheduled medications and waits for new orders

Answer

Ask another UAP to verify the symptoms so the delegated task can proceed without altering the care plan

Question 2

During a telehealth triage call, a Kentucky multistate RN is advising a patient who is physically located in Tennessee, another compact state. Which jurisdiction's nursing law applies to the encounter?

Accepted Answer

Tennessee law, because nursing practice occurs where the patient is located

Answer

Kentucky law, because Kentucky issued the nurse's multistate license

Answer

Either state's law, chosen by the nurse when the scopes differ

Answer

Federal telehealth rules alone, because crossing state lines displaces both states' nurse-practice laws

Question 3

KBN notifies an RN that a complaint has been opened. Online validation still shows an active, unrestricted license, and no interim order has been issued. How should the RN interpret the license status?

Accepted Answer

Continue lawful practice while responding and cooperating because filing a complaint alone does not suspend the license

Answer

Stop practicing until the investigation closes because a complaint automatically suspends nursing authority

Answer

Practice only under direct supervision until KBN decides whether the allegations are substantiated

Answer

Ignore the complaint unless KBN later issues formal charges, because investigations require no licensee response

Question 4

During a staffing shortage, a charge nurse tells an LPN, "Perform the procedure; you are working under my license." The LPN has never been trained or competency-validated for it. Which legal principle governs the LPN's decision?

Accepted Answer

Each nurse remains individually accountable and may not practice beyond education and current competence

Answer

The charge nurse's license transfers accountability for any task assigned during the shift

Answer

An employer's urgent staffing need temporarily expands the LPN's permitted scope

Answer

A provider's order is sufficient when another licensed nurse accepts supervisory responsibility and agrees to co-sign the documentation

Question 5

Four infusion assignments are available for an LPN who has documented competency, required supervision, and facility authorization. Which assignment may the LPN accept under Kentucky law?

Accepted Answer

Use a thrombolytic solely to declot a central venous access device when every governing requirement is met

Answer

Administer an antineoplastic drug through a peripheral intravenous catheter under an oncologist's order

Answer

Remove a midline catheter after the prescribed infusion course has been completed without complications

Answer

Give a systemic thrombolytic for an acute ischemic stroke while the supervising RN remains immediately available

Question 6

Eighteen months after a Kentucky RN license lapsed, the nurse applies for reinstatement and has no nursing employment outside Kentucky during the previous five years. What must be submitted to satisfy the competency and jurisprudence requirements?

Accepted Answer

Twenty-eight CE hours with at least fourteen earned in the past year, plus a jurisprudence score of 80% or higher

Answer

Fourteen CE hours earned in the past year, with no jurisprudence examination because the lapse is under two years

Answer

Forty-two CE hours with at least fourteen earned in the past year, plus the jurisprudence examination because the lapse exceeds one year

Answer

One hundred twenty CE hours earned within the year before applying, plus a new NCLEX examination

Question 7

During medication pass, a nurse smells alcohol on an RN's breath, hears slurred speech, and observes an unsteady gait. The RN still has controlled-substance keys. What is the priority response?

Accepted Answer

Remove the RN from patient care and medication access, notify supervision, document facts, and follow testing and reporting procedures

Answer

Reassign the RN to nonmedication duties but allow patient contact until the supervisor completes an assessment

Answer

Ask the RN to finish the current medication pass, then report voluntarily to employee health before leaving

Answer

Take the keys and drive the RN home without initiating the facility's impairment or diversion process

Question 8

After a two-day adult-medicine course, an actively licensed Kentucky pediatric primary care CNP is asked to independently manage an adult primary-care panel. What must be established before the CNP may take that panel?

Accepted Answer

Graduate preparation and national certification support the adult population focus; employer assignment alone is insufficient

Answer

The employer has granted privileges after reviewing the course certificate and recent performance evaluations

Answer

The collaborating physician agrees to accept responsibility for adult diagnoses and prescriptions

Answer

The CNP has accumulated enough adult-care continuing education to document personal confidence

Question 9

After moving without updating KBN, an RN eventually receives a complaint packet sent to the address of record. The RN plans to wait 45 days before replying because delivery was delayed. What action preserves the RN's procedural rights?

Accepted Answer

Submit a truthful, complete, verified response with supporting documents within 30 days of receipt and update the address

Answer

Wait for KBN to resend the packet to the new address because the first notice has no procedural effect

Answer

Send an informal email after 45 days because verification and supporting documents are required only if formal charges are later issued

Answer

Ask the employer to answer for the RN because a facility response replaces the licensee's individual response

Question 10

An RN applicant holds a Kentucky provisional license. Four months after issuance, KBN receives notice of the applicant's second unsuccessful NCLEX attempt. The employer proposes continued work under RN telephone supervision until the six-month date. What happens to the applicant's authority?

Accepted Answer

It ends when KBN receives the second unsuccessful result, and telephone-only oversight is not direct supervision

Answer

It continues through month six because the six-month maximum controls even after two unsuccessful examination attempts are reported

Answer

It continues if the supervising RN reviews the applicant's work at the end of every shift

Answer

It converts to a temporary work permit while the applicant prepares for another NCLEX attempt
