A live NCLEX® endocrine drill that works through seven practice questions on hypoglycemia, renal-safe prescribing, insulin therapy, and thyroid disorders, with full rationales for every option. A UWorld nurse educator walks through each scenario one assessment finding, medication action, and nursing priority at a time.

Endocrine questions rarely test whether you can define a disorder; they test whether you can act safely on what the client is showing you. This session builds that skill by tying each condition and insulin back to what it does to metabolism, then showing how that physiology predicts the correct answer. Along the way, you'll learn why priority questions call for assessing before you intervene, how to read "clarify" and "requires follow-up" wording as a pointer to the unsafe option, and how to keep hyper- and hypothyroidism straight as opposite metabolic states.

Concepts covered: hypoglycemia, capillary blood glucose assessment, IM glucagon, hypoglycemia versus stroke, end-stage renal disease, metformin contraindication, erythropoietin, acetaminophen versus NSAIDs, phosphate binders, regular insulin, injection site rotation, carbohydrate counting, daily foot inspection, diabetic neuropathy, insulin lispro, insulin glargine, basal versus rapid-acting insulin, diabetic ketoacidosis, insulin aspart onset and peak, meal timing, injection site absorption, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, T3 and T4, TSH, and cold versus heat intolerance.
