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.
