TEST BANK FOR ADAM’S PHARMACOLOGY FOR NURSES A PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC APPROACH, 5TH EDITION BY MICHAEL ADAMS (AUTHOR), NORMAN HOLLAND PH.D, ISBN 978-0134255163 (ALL CHAPTERS COVERED)

The nurse is teaching a pharmacology class to student nurses. What does the nurse include as key events in the history of pharmacology? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin. 2. Early researchers used themselves as test subjects. 3. The initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering. 4. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s. 5. Pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the twentieth century. Correct Answer: 2,3,5 Rationale 1: Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Rationale 2: Some early researchers, such as Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects. Rationale 3: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve human suffering. Rationale 4: Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s. Rationale 5: By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory. Global Rationale: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve human suffering, and early researchers used themselves as test subjects. Initial drugs included morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s.

Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Physiological Integrity Client Need Sub: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies QSEN Competencies: I.A.1 Integrate understanding of multiple dimensions of patient centered care: patient/family/community preferences, values; coordination and integration of care; information, communication, and education; physical comfort and emotional support; involvement of family and friends; and transition and community. AACN Essential Competencies: I.7 Integrate the knowledge and methods of a variety of disciplines to inform decision making. NLN Competencies: Knowledge and Science: Integration of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation Learning Outcome: 1-1 Identify key events in the history of pharmacology. MNL Learning Outcome: 1.1.1 Apply basic concepts related to pharmacology. Page Number: 3 Question 2 Type: MCSA The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor? 1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects." 2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the curriculum." 3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, including the administration of medications." 4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology." Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most complete reason for the nurse to learn them. Rationale 2: The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not because they are part of the curriculum. Rationale 3: Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications. Rationale 4: It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn pharmacology. Global Rationale: It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn pharmacology.

Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation Learning Outcome: 1-2 Explain the interdisciplinary nature of pharmacology, giving an example of how knowledge from different sciences impacts the nurse’s role in drug administration. MNL Learning Outcome: 1.1.1 Apply basic concepts related to pharmacology. Page Number: 3 Question 3 Type: MCMA The nursing instructor is teaching a pharmacology class to student nurses. The current focus is pharmacology and therapeutics. The nursing instructor determines that learning has occurred when the students make which comments?
