The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well
zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl
as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best response by the ins

zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl zl
administration of medications." zl zl
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
