Final answer:

During the NCLEX, if interrupted from charting, the priority is to attend to the patient and address their needs before returning to charting.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you get interrupted from charting and have to attend to a patient during the NCLEX, it is important to prioritize patient care. In this situation, you should immediately attend to the patient and address their needs. Once the patient's needs are met, you can then return to your charting duties.

For example, if a patient calls for assistance or experiences a change in condition while you are charting, you should stop charting and attend to the patient.

Remember, patient care is always the top priority.
