NCLEX RN Practice Question

A registered nurse (RN) is assigned to care for six patients during a shift, including a patient with complex needs requiring intensive monitoring. The RN begins to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about their ability to adequately meet the needs of all patients. What is the most appropriate action for the RN to take?

  • Prioritize care for the most complex patient and address the others later.

  • Refuse the assignment and ask to be reassigned fewer patients.

  • Continue with the assignments but document concerns about the workload.

  • Request assistance or guidance from another nurse or the charge nurse.
