FREE Basic Care and Comfort NCLEX Practice Test For Nurses
- Based on the official NCLEX-RN exam guidelines
- Updated for June 2026
Welcome to the NCLEX-RN practice test with sample questions for the exam (updated for 2026). Preparing for your NCLEX can feel overwhelming. There is so much to remember, as well as understand. As a Registered Nurse, you’ll have a lot of responsibility in every aspect of patient care. You’ll also have a leadership role on your team. By assimilating as much information as possible now, you’ll be more confident when you begin your career. Testing experts recommend starting to prepare 2-3 months before taking the examination. It allows time to take practice tests and then focus on areas that need extra study. Make a daily schedule that includes taking a practice test and understanding the rationale for each question. Our practice tests are designed to maximize your study time. You can take them as many times as you like. Each time, the questions and four options are shuffled into a new random order. Questions on this practice test cover the following topics: Medical Emergencies, Changes/Abnormalities in Vital Signs, Arterial Blood Gases, Potential for Complications of Procedures, and Patient Positions. Each of these questions has four options. Read the question carefully and select the best option. If you are not sure, click on the Hint button underneath the options to read a sentence that can help you choose the correct answer. If you miss the correct answer, an explanation will pop up to give you instant feedback and reinforcement. You can stop your practice test at any time and begin all over. Take your time. These questions are similar to those you will see on the NCLEX exam.

How we keep NCLEX practice questions accurate
Our NCLEX practice tests are built around the written knowledge exam and the skills topics nurse aide candidates are expected to know.
Written by Andrei Zakhareuski
Updated over a week ago
At Nurse.plus, we review question wording, answer choices, and explanations against current nurse aide exam topics instead of treating old quiz banks as final.
Here's how we keep the practice tests useful and reliable.
Content creation and review process
-
Exam alignment:
We map practice questions to core NCLEX exam areas, including basic nursing skills, infection control, residents' rights, safety, communication, and personal care. -
Clear explanations:
Each question is checked for plain language, answer-choice clarity, and an explanation that helps after a wrong answer. -
Foundational nursing review:
Winona Suzanne Ball, RN, MHS, helped establish the nursing review standards behind Nurse Plus. New updates are maintained by the Nurse.plus content team and checked before publication. -
Editorial QA:
Before a question goes live, we review the clinical point, the distractors, formatting, proofreading, and whether the item fits the test it appears in. -
User feedback:
Every question can be reported from the test screen. When a learner flags wording, an answer choice, or a rationale, we review it and update the item when needed. -
Ongoing updates:
We refresh examples, explanations, and provider references as NCLEX testing guidance changes.
That process is not flashy, but it matters: learners need practice questions that read like the exam and explanations that actually help after a missed answer.
