Why custom practice beats a printable NCLEX PDF

Printable NCLEX practice questions are handy, but they are written for everyone, so they rarely match what your instructor covered this term. Generating your own set from your lecture slides and notes keeps practice tied to the material you will actually be tested on.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats
  • Explanations that show why the wrong options fail
  • Study in the browser on the free plan
  • Export to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on paid plans
Example NCLEX pharmacology practice questions
Which nursing action takes priority for a client on warfarin with an INR of 6.5?Hold the dose and notify the prescriber. A very high INR signals serious bleeding risk, so the prescriber needs to decide on next steps.
True or false: digoxin toxicity is more likely when serum potassium is low.True. Hypokalemia increases myocardial sensitivity to digoxin, so toxicity can occur at lower drug levels.
A client receiving IV heparin reports new black, tarry stools. What should the nurse do first?Assess for bleeding, hold the infusion per protocol and notify the provider. Black, tarry stools suggest GI bleeding, which heparin can worsen.
A client with type 1 diabetes is NPO for surgery. Which action is most important?Continue basal insulin as ordered and monitor blood glucose regularly. Stopping all insulin during NPO status can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis.
Which lab value should the nurse report promptly for a client taking lithium?A serum lithium level above the therapeutic range. Lithium toxicity can progress to confusion, seizures and kidney effects.
