Welcome to the NCLEX-PN practice test on Pharmacologic Therapies, an important subcategory of Physiological Integrity. Between 10 and 16% of your examination will include test items on every aspect of pharmacology that an entry-level LPN/VN should know regarding administering medications and monitoring clients who are receiving parenteral therapies. You should be familiar with calculating medication doses and intravenous drips, administering injections, knowing adverse effects, contraindications, and interactions of medications, expected outcomes, pharmacological pain management, and monitoring blood product transfusions. There are no specific drugs or medications to study, so focus on classifications and groups of medications. Questions on this practice test include dosage calculations, drug interactions, insulin administration, adverse effects, blood transfusions, and client education. You can begin this test at any time. If you leave any test before it’s completed, it will remind you where you left off when you return. A good strategy is to read each question carefully and try to think of the answer before looking at the options. Remember that you should select the BEST choice. If you’d like a clue, click on the Hint button under the fourth option. When you select the correct response, you’ll go the next question. If you make a mistake, an explanation will immediately pop up with the rationale for the answer. Each time you take a practice test, the questions and options are shuffled into a different random order. These are two proven techniques to reinforce your learning.
