Pharmacological & Parenteral Therapies 3

Welcome to the NCLEX-RN practice test for Pharmacological & Parenteral Therapies. This is one of the four subcategories in the Client Need, Physiological Integrity. It’s also the second largest area of content on the NCLEX, after Management of Care. You can expect between 12 to 18% of the test items to be related to administering medications and parenteral therapies. The test items can include knowing adverse effects, interactions, and contraindications of medications; administering blood products; central venous access devices; dosage calculations; all aspects of safe medication administration; being familiar with expected outcomes; intravenous therapies, including starting an IV access; pharmacological pain management; and administration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). This practice test covers dosage calculations, intravenous drip rates, medication allergies, side effects, therapeutic serum drug levels, and client education. Start this test whenever you’re ready. If you leave any test before it’s completed, it will remind you where you left off when you return. Read each question carefully and try to think of the answer before looking at the options. Remember to select the BEST choice. If you’re not sure, click on the Hint button under the fourth option to get a clue. When you select the correct response, you’ll go the next question. If you make a mistake, an explanation will immediately pop up. Each time you take a practice test, the questions and options are shuffled into a different random order. These are proven techniques to reinforce your learning.
