A graduate nurse is reviewing information about the NCLEX exam on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website. Which of the following information should the nurse identify about the NCLEX exam?

Choice A reason: Client's skin is pale and diaphoretic is not included in the subjective component, but in the objective component. The objective component records the measurable and observable data that the nurse collects from the client, such as vital signs, physical examination findings, and laboratory results.
Choice B reason: Client reports chest pain after mowing lawn this morning is included in the subjective component. The subjective component records the data that the client verbalizes or expresses, such as symptoms, feelings, preferences, and beliefs.
Choice C reason: Client administered nitroglycerin 0.3 mg SL for chest pain is not included in the subjective component, but in the plan component. The plan component records the interventions and actions that the nurse implements or plans to implement for the client, such as medications, treatments, referrals, and education.
Choice D reason: Client's blood pressure is 182/98 mm Hg is not included in the subjective component, but in the objective component. The objective component records the measurable and observable data that the nurse collects from the client, such as vital signs, physical examination findings, and laboratory results.

Choice A: This is the correct answer. A portal is a secure online platform that enables clients to access their health information, communicate with their providers, request appointments, refill prescriptions, and more. This enhances client satisfaction, engagement, and empowerment.
Choice B: This is incorrect. Same day access to client health record is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a requirement for any documentation system. Clients have the right to access their health information within a reasonable time frame, regardless of whether it is paper-based or electronic.
Choice C: This is incorrect. The increase of duplicate tests performed on client is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Duplicate tests can result from poor communication, lack of interoperability, or human error. Electronic documentation can help reduce duplicate tests by facilitating data sharing, standardizing formats, and alerting providers of previous tests.
Choice D: This is incorrect. Decrease in coordination of client care is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Coordination of client care is essential for ensuring quality, safety, and continuity of care. Electronic documentation can improve coordination of client care by allowing multiple providers to access and update the same information, enabling real-time collaboration, and providing decision support tools.
