NCLEX pharmacology review practice question on beta blocker medications.

On the NCLEX exam, it is inevitable you will receive pharmacology type questions. This NCLEX-style question will test your ability on how to analyze a scenario for a patient taking the beta blocker medication Propranolol.

This video is part of a weekly NCLEX review series where I will be going over NCLEX-style questions with you. I will be helping you analyze and breakdown each question, and walk you through how to select the correct option.

NCLEX questions require critical thinking and you must know how to use your nursing knowledge to gather the facts and analyze what the question is asking.

For this specific NCLEX practice question, you must know the basics about the drug Propranolol and the correct education to provide a patient.

NCLEX Practice Pharmacology Question:

A patient, who has a health history of uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes mellitus, is prescribed to take Propranolol. You have provided the patient with education about this new medication. Which statement by the patient indicates your teaching was effective?

A. “I will take this medication every morning with grapefruit juice.”
B. “If I miss a dose, it is important that I double the next dose to prevent potential side effects.”
C. “It is important that I monitor my blood glucose levels very closely while taking this medication.”
D. “I will immediately stop taking this medication if I experience cold hands or feet.”

Watch the video for the correct answer and rationale.
