✍️ Sample PSB-PN Questions & Answers

1. Which process describes how cells produce identical daughter cells for growth and tissue repair?
✓ Mitosis

Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells and is the basis of growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in somatic cells.

2. What is the most effective leadership approach in professional settings?
✓ Adapting leadership style to the situation and team needs

Effective leadership requires adapting your approach based on the situation, team capabilities, and organizational needs — known as situational leadership.

3. When a patient is ordered to receive a subcutaneous heparin injection, the practical nurse should administer it at which angle?
✓ 45–90 degrees

Subcutaneous injections are given at 45–90 degrees depending on body fat, ensuring the medication is deposited in the subcutaneous tissue rather than muscle or skin.

4. Why is regular risk reassessment important?
✓ Because the risk landscape changes as conditions, activities, and environments evolve

Regular risk reassessment is essential because risks are dynamic — new threats emerge, existing risks change in severity, and the effectiveness of controls may vary over time.

5. Which type of muscle tissue is found exclusively in the heart?
✓ Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle is involuntary, striated muscle found only in the myocardium; it contracts rhythmically and continuously without fatigue under normal conditions.

6. What is the normal pH range of human arterial blood?
✓ 7.35–7.45

Normal arterial blood pH is 7.35–7.45; values below 7.35 indicate acidosis and values above 7.45 indicate alkalosis, both of which are life-threatening if severe.
