,1. Initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.

2. Early researchers used themselves as test subjects.
J J J J J J
3. The initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
J J J J J J J J J
4. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s.
J J J J J J
5. Pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the twentieth century. J J J J J J J J J
Correct Answer: 2,3,5 J J
Rationale 1: Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicines, cur are,
J J J J J J J J J J J J J
and cocaine, but not penicillin.
J J J J
Rationale 2: Some early researchers, such as Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subje cts.
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Rationale 3: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve hu man
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
suffering.
Rationale 4: Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s.
J J J J J J J J J J J
Rationale 5: By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.
J J J J J J J J J J J J
Global Rationale: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to rel ieve
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
human suffering, and early researchers used themselves as test subjects. Initial drugs incl uded
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Modern pharmacology beg an in the
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
early 1800s, not the 1600s. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesi ze drugs in the

Question 2 J J
Type:MCSA J
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well as
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best resp onse by theJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
instructor?
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects." J J J J J J J
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the curriculum."
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, includi ng the J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
administration of medications." J J
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
J J J J J J J J J J
Correct Answer: 4 J J
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but thi s is
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
not the most complete reason for the nurse to learn them.
J J J J J J J J J J
Rationale 2: The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharma
