Correct Answer: 2,3,5 g g
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.

Question 2 g
Type:
g
MCSA
g
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well as
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor?
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
g g g g g g g
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the curriculum."
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, including the administration
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
of medications."
g g
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
g g g g g g g g g g
Correct Answer: 4 g g
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
complete reason for the nurse to learn them.
g g g g g g g g
Rationale 2: The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
because they are part of the curriculum.
g g g g g g g
Rationale 3: Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
g g g g g g g g g g g g
pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 4: It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
pharmacology.
