when i took my nclex last year i found a thread that was started that had a ton of nclex type questions on it and i found it very helpful. now i work in an er and have a coworker who needs some help studying too. the tread i found had everyone reply with 5 questions and answers to study. easy or hard it didn't matter. all schools cover different things and this gave a wide variety of information and it helped me so much. i cut and pasted anything that wasn't already a duplicate and made my own study guide out of it. i have to tell ya...about 90% of the nclex was covered on this study guide. :heartbeat so....i would like to start another thread that can keep going for months like the last one did and everyone please enter 5 questions and include the answers (please make sure you look these answers up so they are correct). there were over 1000 entries in the last thread so let's make this one as big as that one. have fun with it and challenge each other! here's some pharm questions to get you started...
