NCLEX Safety & Infection Control Explained | Precautions, Errors, Emergencies & Patient Safety

Описание: The Safety and Infection Control category accounts for 10–16% of the NCLEX-RN exam and evaluates whether nurses can prevent harm, manage risk, and respond effectively to emergencies.

In this video, we explain the key safety and infection control concepts tested on the 2026 NCLEX-RN test plan, and how to approach these questions using clinical judgment and prioritisation strategies.
