Sample KROK M Nursing Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the KROK M Nursing exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 50+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Before an aseptic procedure, a nurse's hands are visibly clean. Which hand-hygiene action is appropriate before putting on the required gloves?

A.Put on gloves without hand hygiene

B.Use alcohol-based hand rub over all hand surfaces until dry

C.Rinse briefly with water alone

D.Clean only the fingertips with an antiseptic wipe

Explanation: Alcohol-based hand rub is appropriate for routine hand antisepsis when hands are not visibly soiled. Cover all surfaces and let the hands dry before donning gloves; gloves do not replace hand hygiene.

2A nurse prepares wrapped textile packs for steam sterilization. Which information should determine the cycle rather than assuming one temperature-time combination suits every load?

A.The cycle used for an unrelated dry-heat load

B.The shortest cycle available on the machine

C.Validated instructions for the sterilizer, packaging and load, with required monitoring

D.Visual cleanliness alone

Explanation: Steam exposure requirements depend on the sterilizer, load, packaging and validated process. Follow compatible manufacturer instructions and local reprocessing procedures, and review the required physical, chemical and biological monitoring rather than relying on appearance alone.

3After using an injection needle, which disposal action best prevents a sharps injury?

A.Recap it using both hands before disposal

B.Place it temporarily in a soft clinical-waste bag

C.Detach it by hand for later sorting

D.Activate the safety device and immediately discard it into the designated puncture-resistant sharps container

Explanation: Used sharps require immediate disposal into an appropriate closable, puncture-resistant container at the point of use. Avoid recapping and manual manipulation, and follow current Ukrainian waste rules and the container's fill limit rather than obsolete waste-category labels.

4A patient preparing for elective gastroscopy says, 'The letter gives separate instructions for food and clear fluids. I will just follow my usual breakfast routine.' What should the nurse do?

A.Review and confirm the endoscopy unit's fasting and medication instructions with the patient

B.Advise that all patients may eat until the test begins

C.Substitute a cleansing enema for fasting

D.Tell the patient to stop all medication for a week without checking

Explanation: Gastroscopy preparation requires clear instructions to reduce aspiration risk and allow adequate visualization. Food and fluid restrictions may differ, and diabetes, gastric-emptying problems and medication use can require individualized instructions.

5A patient without a fluid restriction is preparing for a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound. The imaging unit requests a comfortably full bladder. Which preparation plan is appropriate?

A.Empty the bladder immediately before the scan, as for many transvaginal scans

B.Follow the unit's fluid instructions and avoid voiding immediately before the scan

C.Avoid all fluids and keep the bladder empty as for a fasting abdominal investigation

D.Use a cleansing enema instead of the requested bladder preparation

Explanation: Fluid in the bladder provides a useful acoustic window for transabdominal pelvic imaging. Follow the imaging unit's fluid instructions and consider any fluid restriction; transvaginal imaging commonly uses different bladder preparation.

6During a Mantoux tuberculin skin test, which immediate finding supports correct intradermal placement of the prescribed 0.1 mL dose?

A.No visible change after a deep muscular injection

B.Diffuse swelling of the entire forearm

C.A pale wheal about 6–10 mm in diameter

D.Immediate redness interpreted as a positive TB result

Explanation: Correct intradermal administration on the inner forearm produces a small pale wheal. This immediate injection wheal is a placement check, not the delayed induration used to interpret the test result.

7A stable patient's prescription is 500 mL over four hours. After one hour, 150 mL has infused. The clinician confirms that the remaining volume should run over the remaining three hours using a 20 drops/mL set. What revised rate, rounded to the nearest whole drop, is required?

A.42 drops/min

B.50 drops/min

C.58 drops/min

D.39 drops/min

Explanation: The remaining volume is 500 − 150 = 350 mL, and the remaining time is 180 minutes. Calculate 350 × 20 ÷ 180 = 38.89 drops/min, rounded to 39; monitor the actual rate and the patient's condition.

8During an infusion through a short peripheral venous catheter, an adult develops warmth, tenderness and erythema along the cannulated vein, with a palpable cord. Which response is appropriate?

A.Stop the infusion, remove the peripheral catheter according to protocol, and assess and report the complication

B.Flush the catheter and resume the infusion if fluid still passes

C.Replace only the dressing and keep using the same catheter

D.Keep the catheter until its scheduled replacement time unless the patient develops fever

Explanation: These findings suggest phlebitis and are an indication to remove a short peripheral venous catheter. Assess the site and the patient, document and report the findings, and arrange alternative access if treatment must continue; a patent catheter can still be unsafe.

9A patient repeatedly injects insulin into a painless fatty lump and develops unpredictable glucose readings. Which instruction is most appropriate?

A.Continue using the lump because injections hurt less

B.Avoid the affected tissue and agree a systematic site-rotation plan with glucose monitoring

C.Massage the lump immediately after each injection

D.Increase every insulin dose without reassessing technique

Explanation: Lipohypertrophy can make insulin absorption unpredictable. Avoid injecting into the lump, rotate sites systematically and monitor glucose closely when changing to healthy tissue because insulin absorption and dose needs may change.

10After administering a prescribed subcutaneous heparin injection, the nurse sees slight oozing. Which action is appropriate?

A.Vigorously massage the area

B.Give another dose to replace presumed leakage

C.Apply gentle pressure if needed and avoid rubbing

D.Insert the next dose into the existing bruise

Explanation: Gentle pressure can control minor oozing after an anticoagulant injection. Avoid rubbing or massaging because this encourages bruising; use appropriate sites and follow the specific product instructions.

KROK M Nursing: Suggested Study Strategy

1Use the official Nursing programme to study all 15 domains; this 50-question bank samples selected topics.

2Practice procedures under supervision and use current clinical protocols rather than memorizing obsolete bedside rules.

3Check the exact medicine or device instructions for storage, administration and reprocessing requirements.

4For calculations, retain units and distinguish measured fluid balance from a diagnosis of fluid retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is KROK M the same as KROK B?

No. This page concerns Nursing at the professional pre-higher education level. KROK B is the separate assessment for the bachelor's level.

What are the official count, time and criterion?

The current Testing Center page specifies 150 single-best-answer questions, 150 minutes for Ukrainian citizens, 180 minutes for foreign citizens and a 42.0% passing criterion.

Does this English bank simulate the official assessment?

No. It is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format/language simulation. Ukrainian delivery is confirmed for Ukrainian citizens. Candidates in other cohorts should confirm currently available delivery languages with the provider and their institution.

Are practical nursing requirements covered by these MCQs?

MCQs can help study safety, assessment and decisions but cannot demonstrate clinical skill. The Testing Center describes one KROK M test stage, while the Nursing education standard includes a practical-oriented assessment. Follow your institution's applicable curriculum, clinical training and practical attestation requirements; this bank does not replace them.

What is the examination fee?

Confirm the amount payable with your registering institution. A published draft institutional 2026 specification distinguishes cohort and sitting charges, but a single universal individual fee was not verified.
