A nurse educator wants to define the term pharmacology for the student. Which definition is
most appropriate?
1. The study of medicine
2. The use of medicine to treat disease
3. The branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of disease and suffering
4. The use of herbs, natural extracts, vitamins, minerals, or dietary supplements to treat
diseases
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The study of medicine is the definition of pharmacology.
Rationale 2: The use of medicine to treat disease is incorrect because this is the definition of
pharmacotherapeutics.
Rationale 3: The branch of medicine concerned with the treatment of disease and suffering is
incorrect because this is the definition of therapeutics.
Rationale 4: The use of herbs, natural extracts, vitamins, minerals, or dietary supplements to
treat diseases is incorrect because this is the definition of natural alternative therapies.
Global Rationale: Pharmacology is the study of medicine. The use of medicine to treat disease
is incorrect because this is the definition of pharmacotherapeutics. The branch of medicine
concerned with the treatment of disease and suffering is incorrect because this is the definition
of therapeutics. The use of herbs, natural extracts, vitamins, minerals, or dietary supplements to
