Everyone taking the NCLEX or is about to take the NCLEX has
realized that the NCSBN had change some of the content
format of the NCLEX. One of the big changes includes the ercent
amount of SAFETY AND INFECTION
CONTROL that !ill be on the NCLEX. "he #Safety and
$nfection Control% no! makes u about &'()* of the +uestions
in the NCLEX, $ believe that it only reviously comosed of about
-'(* rior /or $ could be !rong0.
INFECTION CONTROL
1ecently $nfection Control makes u about (2' (3* of the NCLEX.
"hat means that if you are able to get the average of
about (32'(42 +uestions, then you are guaranteed to recieved
bet!een (4' 2 +uestions that is related to $nfection
Control. Even if !e get the least /540 amount of +uestions, !e
can still receive about 5'- +uestions that is related toinfection
control, that is a 678E hel, if !e do !ell on these +uestions. $
ersonally dont think that $nfection control is a
difficult area. $ believe that most of the nursing students
never really studied #$nfection Control,% !hen they !ere in
Nursing School. "herefore, this lack of kno!ledge did not
reare the ma9ority of the Nursing Student for the NCLEX.
