NCLEX Hotspot Question Example: Digoxin Practice Question Pharmacology

This is an NCLEX hotspot practice question example about a nursing assessment for the drug Digoxin (Lanoxin). For this particular NCLEX practice question, you will have to identify what area on the diagram you will assess prior to administering Digoxin. Before a nurse administers Lanoxin, it is important to assess the apical pulse for 1 full minute. The apical pulse must be 60 beats per minute or greater. Therefore, to answer this question correctly you must identify on the diagram where the apical pulse is located on an adult patient. The apical pulse is located at the apex of the heart and is found at the 5th5th intercostal space midclavicular line. This location is also the point of maximum impulse. 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.
