    After completing the quiz, results do not populate and there is no rationale as you go through each question, so you cannot learn.

      Hello, after the quiz, click on the “Quiz Summary” button then “Finish Quiz” button. It should give you the option to review the questions and the rationales (by clicking “View Questions”).

    I never thought practicing the content of the Psychiatric Nursing questions here would help me succeed in my certification exam. Now, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health -Board Certified (PMH-BC). Thank you for preparing those questions, it is a great site for reviews.

    I am in doubt of 43rd question of anxiety disorder
    question asking the side effect of Ritalin- the correct answer here is increased attention span and concentration. This is actually the therapeutic effect of this medication. As far as I know, the main side effect is sleeplessness. therefore, this medication should be given before noon to avoid sleeping problems.
    please check and let me know too
    thank you

    I’m studying for my psych certification and I have to say, I’m impressed by and love the 700 of psych questions with rationales. The only downside is that it doesn’t save your progress so if you can’t finish the test in 1 sitting, you have to start all over again. That’s the only annoying part, but I love this website.

    This is a great website & I appreciate all of the practice quizzes so much! I did want to point out that it seems like the substance abuse quiz starts being about depression and mania halfway through? It’s just confusing because the questions completely stop addressing substance abuse at all.

    Hi Nurseslabs,

    As an international mental health nurse, are the Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing NCLEX Practice Questions the only questions to expect in the exams, or these test questions here are just one aspect of the Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing NCLEX exams.
    Thank you

    Thank you, this helped me a lot. Here’s my feedback. I find the rationale behind the answer of some questions unclear. to name one, quiz 6 number 11 just tells me that the option is the one appropriate but doesn’t tell me why it is and why the others arent.

  33. Tiffany L. Avatar

    question:
    Nurse Irish is aware that Ritalin is the drug of choice for a child with ADHD. The side effects of the following may be noted by the nurse

    Answer is incorrect per nursing central and nursing textbooks. Common side effects of methylphenidate:
    Headaches
    Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
    Loss of appetite
    Stomach ache
    Dry mouth
    Feeling or being sick

    Side effect is not increased attention span. That is not a side effect but instead a therapeutic effect.
