nurse.Which2student comment indicates an understanding?
1. "Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
2. "A primary goal of pharmacology is2to prevent disease."
3. "Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source."
4. "Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs2in the laboratory in the nineteenthcentury."
ANS; 1
Explanation:
1. Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
2. An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
3. Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine,curare,

ine the relationship between medicine and pharmacology.
2) A student nurse asks a nursing instructor why anatomy and physiology as well asmicrobiolog
y are required courses when the2student only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is t
he best response by the instructor?
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
2. "You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
4. "An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology. "ANS;
4 Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is2not
the most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
2. The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understandpharmacol
ogy, not because they are part of the curriculum.
