Sample Saudi Prometric Nursing Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free Saudi Prometric Nursing practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A Saudi MOH head nurse on a 24-bed medical ward has one registered nurse (RN) and two nursing technicians on the night shift. Which task is appropriate to delegate to a nursing technician?

   • A. Measuring and recording vital signs for a stable postoperative patient
   • B. Performing initial assessment on a newly admitted patient
   • C. Titrating IV morphine for a patient in pain
   • D. Educating a diabetic patient about insulin self-injection

   Answer: A. Measuring and recording vital signs for a stable postoperative patient

   Measuring and recording vital signs for a stable patient is within the scope of a nursing technician (assistant-level) in Saudi MOH facilities. Initial assessment, medication titration, and patient education are professional nursing responsibilities that cannot be delegated to technicians under SCFHS and Saudi MOH scope-of-practice guidelines.

2. What are the principles of the nursing code of ethics relevant to Saudi practice?

   • A. Only following physician orders
   • B. Autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, veracity, and fidelity — applied within the framework of Islamic healthcare ethics
   • C. Only about salary negotiations
   • D. Ethics only apply in emergency situations

   Answer: B. Autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, veracity, and fidelity — applied within the framework of Islamic healthcare ethics

   Nursing ethics principles: Autonomy (respect patient decisions), Beneficence (do good), Non-maleficence (do no harm), Justice (fair treatment), Veracity (truthfulness), Fidelity (keeping promises). In Saudi Arabia, these align with Islamic values of mercy, justice, and human dignity.

3. What is the Mental Health Act in Saudi Arabia and how does it affect nursing practice?

   • A. No mental health law exists
   • B. Saudi Mental Health Law provides rights for psychiatric patients including consent, least restrictive treatment, and involuntary admission criteria
   • C. Mental health patients have no legal rights
   • D. Only applies to foreign nationals

   Answer: B. Saudi Mental Health Law provides rights for psychiatric patients including consent, least restrictive treatment, and involuntary admission criteria

   Saudi Arabia's Mental Health Law protects psychiatric patients' rights: informed consent for treatment, confidentiality, least restrictive environment, right to appeal involuntary admission, and access to legal representation. Nurses must understand and uphold these rights.

4. A critically ill patient in a Saudi ICU receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) develops a blood glucose of 14 mmol/L. According to Saudi SCCM-aligned protocols, what is the TARGET blood glucose range during TPN administration in ICU patients?

   • A. 7.8–10 mmol/L
   • B. 3.9–6.1 mmol/L (strict normoglycemia)
   • C. 11–14 mmol/L (permissive hyperglycemia)
   • D. 4–7 mmol/L

   Answer: A. 7.8–10 mmol/L

   Current Saudi ICU and international critical care guidelines (SCCM/ESPEN) recommend a target blood glucose of 7.8–10 mmol/L for critically ill patients receiving TPN. Strict normoglycemia (3.9–6.1 mmol/L) was associated with higher hypoglycemia-related mortality in landmark NICE-SUGAR trials. Permissive hyperglycemia >10 mmol/L increases infection risk and impairs wound healing. The glucose reading of 14 mmol/L requires insulin intervention.
