BON RESOLUTION NO.

11
SERIES OF 2017
“Re-classification of the Suject Nursing Practice 1 and Nursing Practice II of
the Philippine Licensure Examination”
 PREVIOUS BOARD EXAMINATIONS:

• NP 1- Basic Foundation of Nursing and Professional Nursing

• NP 2 – Community Health Nursing and Care of the Mother and Child
• NP 3 – Care of the Clients with Physiologic and Psychosocial Alterations (PART
A)
• NP 4 – Care of the Clients with Physiologic and Psychosocial Alterations (PART
B)
• NP 5 – Care of the Clients with Physiologic and Psychosocial Alterations (PART
C)
• Based on the resolution, the BON reviewed the components of Nursing
Practice II and noted that “under the present PNLE framework, the scope
and number of items allocated for Community Health Nursing and Care of
the Mother and Child are not adequate to determine the competence of
the beginning nurses in such component/areas of practice.”
• “The curricular content of each of these two (2) components (Community
Health Nursing and Care of the Mother and Child) are so broad and
extensive that they ought to be treated as separate and distinct
component/area,”
 REVISIONS TO THE NEW NLE
• 1. The Nursing Practice I on Basic Foundation of Nursing and Professional
Nursing Practice shall no longer be treated as separate and independent
component of PNLE, but instead will be subsumed or integrated in all the
PNLE examination subjects;
2. The Nursing Practice I shall be reclassified and renamed Community
Health Nursing, and which shall be assigned with relative weight of twenty
percent (20%);
3. The Nursing Practice II shall be reclassified and renamed Care of
Healthy/At Risk Mother and Child, and which shall be assigned with relative
weight of twenty percent (20%);
• Classification and descriptions of Nursing Practice III, IV and V shall remain
the same.
