    THE NCLEX TUTOR

    Top Meds to Know for NCLEX


    MARCH 27, 2 0 19 By Justine Buick (https://thenclextutor.com/author/jbuick/)

    Updated January 2024

    1. Anti-hypertensives: Betablockers – decrease BP and HR: (end in -LOL)


    2. Anti-hypertensives: Calcium channel blockers – decreases BP and HR: (end in -
    DIPINE)
    2 random CCBs are diltiazem and verapamil

    3. Cardiac glycoside: digoxin: decreases HR


    4. Anti-depressants: (SSRIs, like fluoxeTINE)
    5. Anti-anxiety: (end in -LAM or -PAM, like clonazePAM)
    6. Anti-anginals (have the word NITRATE or NITRO in it)
    7. Insulins: (all of them: rapid, short, intermediate and long)
    8. Oral anti-diabetic: metformin
    9. Anti-biotics: (most of them: cephalosporins, pencillins, fluoroquinolones and
    aminoglycosides)
    10. Pain meds: (narcotics/opioids and analgesics: opioids have the word MORPH in
    them; acetaminophen and NSAIDs like ibuprofen)
    11. Naloxone: antidote to opioids
    12. Diuretics: (all of them: thiazides, loop and K-sparing)
    13. Bronchodilators: (short acting, like –ALBUTEROL; and long-acting like -
    ipraTROPIUM)
    14. Steroids (end in -SONE or -LONE)
    15. Anti-neoplastics (not the specific meds, just the nursing considerations and side
    effects as a group)
    16. Anti-coagulants: warfarin & heparin; apixibAN, dabigatrAN, rivaroxabAN
    17. Anti-platelet: aspirin
    18. Anaphylaxis: epinephrine
    19. Anti-dysrhythmia: amiodarone
    20. Thyroid: levothyroxine
    21. Stool softener: docusate sodium
    22. Anti-cholesterol meds: (end in -STATIN)
    For each of the classifications/meds, know these important points:

    1. The classifications and the generic names


    2. What the med is for and which system it affects
    3. The nursing considerationsbefore, during and after you give the med
    these are things like knowing which vitals signs to take, labs to look at, any
    contraindications, and monitoring for side effects

    4. The side effects


    Don’t memorize a list of side effects. Instead, remember the nursing
    consideration along with the side effect.
    An example is knowing that a beta blocker has the side effect of low blood
    pressure and low heart rate. Therefore, your nursing consideration is to
    check the blood pressure and heart rate before you give it. If the blood
    pressure is below 100/60 or heart rate is less than 60, you wouldn’t give it.

    Many students don’t know what they need to know for the meds. That’s why as my
    student, you use the NCLEX Nursing Nugget Pages
    (https://www.thenclextutor.store/collections/all-products/products/nclex-nursing-
    nugget-pages). These nugget pages tell you exactly what you need to know while
    leaving out all the fluff.

    At the very least, know what the med is FOR. This alone can help you get to the
    right answer.

    Any meds you think I’m missing? Put them in comments section.
