1 FACULTY OF HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE AND EDUCATION Nursing/Registered Nurse Interview and Selection Days Numeracy and literacy tests: information and sample questions Nurses need to be both numerate and literate to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. During our interview and selection days you'll complete a numeracy test and a literacy test. What do the tests involve? The literacy and maths test last for 30 minutes. The literacy test is made up of multiple choice questions and circling incorrect use of grammar in a text. The numeracy test includes addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as conversion of decimals to fractions, and fractions to decimals. You will be given a booklet with both the literacy and maths tests included. You will have a total of 30 minutes to complete 30 questions. It will be up to you how you manage the time so you may wish, for example, to spend 20 minutes on the maths test and 10 minutes on the literacy test. The pass mark is 8/15 for both the literacy and maths tests: you must pass both the literacy AND maths tests to be awarded an overall pass of the exam. You will also be required to write an essay; the title will relate to healthcare and the NHS. The maximum score for the essay test is 10 and the pass mark is 6/10. What happens if I don t pass the tests? You need to pass the tests to proceed to the interview stage. We are unable to consider applicants who do not achieve the pass mark in any of the tests. The decision not to grant an interview as a result of the tests is final and the University will be unable to enter into any individual discussion or correspondence with regards the result achieved. If you fail one or more parts of the test this will be indicated in the rejection information you will receive from UCAS.

3 THE TEST Please read the following extract. There are seven grammatical errors. These may include errors in spelling punctuation and grammar. Put a circle around each mistake. You do not have to correct the error. It was April 2015 and After living in the same house for seventeen year s, Jacinta decided it was time to sell her house in London and move to a smaller house in Brighton. Her daughter and husband and three children lived in Brighton. Jacinta always wanted to lived by the sea. Many family members thought she should of moved to the coast years ago. She struggled to maintain her large semi-detached house in London. By October 2015 Jacinta had moved and the move had went well. By April 2016 many family and friends thought that they seen a great improvement in her health? She began to socialise in her new area, making friends and enjoying trips to bingo and day trips to other coastal towns. The move to Brighton was clearly the start of a whole new life for her. Turn over for Section B

4 B: COMPREHENSION (8 Marks) Read the passage below and answer the questions which follow. Two hundred years or so ago, medicine, in this country, was a fairly limited affair. There were centres of refuge and care which had been established since the 12 th century, run by the church and funded by charitable donations but there was neither local nor national provision of health care. As medicine advanced as a science and treatments became more effective, it was called upon to play a much bigger role in the welfare of the population, not least because it was realised that a healthy nation was also a more productive one. The Crimean War (1854-6) highlighted the inadequacy of health care and although it may be disputed (Mary Seacole, from Jamaica, is certainly an unsung hero here) the reformation of nursing care may well have stemmed from the period following Florence Nightingale s arrival in the Crimea, to tend to injured soldiers. Certainly the death rate soon fell from 40% to 2% although it is uncertain as to how much should be attributed to adhering to her maxim that the first requirement of a hospital is that it should do no harm! Back in Britain and possibly following experiences in the Crimea, the 1860 s saw more responsibility given to local authorities to contain disease. This led to the provision of isolation hospitals for those suffering from illnesses such as smallpox and tuberculosis and to the idea of policing communicable diseases. The turn of the century brought growing pressure for more state involvement in health care and this resulted in the National Health Insurance Act which provided low-paid workers with money for treatment and limited sick benefit. This supported the new ideology that state medicine should help the under-privileged and, therefore, enhance social justice. Thought was also given to such matters as health education, the idea of prevention rather than cure and the care of the elderly and of the mentally impared. The Second World War ( ) necessitated more central government involvement and it was at this time that the Beveridge Report (1942) was published and whilst it was never really intended to embrace widespread welfare provision, the idea of care from the cradle to the grave, caught the public imagination. It was six years later that the National Health Service (NHS) was born. It was thought that high initial costs would gradually reduce as the nation became healthier. However, it was soon realised that better treatment did not mean less expenditure and that socialised medicine did not reduce inequalities. Nonetheless, despite problems of under-funding, the NHS remains a remarkably successful venture which continues to offer to all an acceptable standard of medicine in a reasonably efficient system.
