Chapter 1 Introduction to Pharmacology
The nurse is reviewing key events in the history of pharmacology with a student nurse. Which
student comment indicates an understanding?
"Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
"A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
"Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source."
"Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratory in the nineteenth century."
Answer: 1
Explanation:
Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and
cocaine, but not penicillin.
By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.

Cognitive Level: Analyzing
Client Need/Sub: Physiological Integrity: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
Standards: 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 continuity. | AACN Domains and
Competencies: 1.1 Demonstrate an understanding of the discipline of nursing's distinct perspective
and where shared perspectives exist with other disciplines. | NLN Competencies: Knowledge and
Science: Integration of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. | Nursing/Integrated
Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation
Learning Outcome: 1-1 Identify key events in the history of pharmacology.
MNL Learning Outcome: Examine the relationship between medicine and pharmacology.
The nursing student asks why anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology are required
courses when learning about pharmacology. Which response will the instructor make?
"Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
"You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
"Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
"An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology."
Answer: 4
Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the
most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not
because they are part of the curriculum.
Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
