What it means
Often shortened to SATA. On the NCLEX, the question tells you to "select all that apply", and any number of the options, from one to all of them, may be correct. On the Next Generation NCLEX, many of these items give partial credit, but a wrong choice can take points away.
For the nurse
Treat each option as its own true-or-false question about this client, rather than looking for a pattern or a set number of answers.
