Question 2 T T
Type: MCSA T
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
well as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best resp
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
onse by the instructor? T T T
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects." T T T T T T T
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the curriculum."
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, includi
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
ng the administration of medications."
