I'm sorry, but I don't have access to specific exam questions for the BSc Nursing exit exam in Ethiopia in 2023. The exam questions are typically created and administered by the educational institution or the nursing council in Ethiopia. It would be best to consult with your professors or academic advisors for more information on the specific exam format and content.
