Chapter 1
Question 1
Type: MCSA
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
ST
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
U
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.
D
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
YL
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
AB
treat diseases is incorrect because this is the definition of natural alternative therapies.

Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment
Learning Outcome: 1-1 Explain the expansive nature of pharmacology, and give examples of
interrelated subject areas needed to master the discipline.
Question 2
KJHGFDS
, LKJHGFDS
Type: MCSA
Nurses are responsible for administering medications. Nurses do not prescribe medications.
Which best explains the reason why nurses study pharmacology?
1. To educate and advise patients regarding their healthcare needs
2. To clarify the reasons why a prescriber may prescribe a certain medication to the patient
3. To understand how adverse effects of medications can be avoided
4. To generate research for medications
Correct Answer: 1
ST
Rationale 1: Knowledge of pharmacology is essential to properly educate and advise patients
regarding their healthcare needs.
Rationale 2: The prescriber should provide the reasons why a particular drug is prescribed for a
patient. The nurse is responsible for educating the patient about the medication.
U
Rationale 3: The action of the drug, its side effects, and adverse reactions of the drug are all
necessary for patient education. Adverse effects of medication cannot always be avoided.
Rationale 4: Drug development generates research about how a medication works, the side
D
effects, interactions with other medications, and adverse effects. Nurses study pharmacology in
order to assist in patient education.
Global Rationale: Some healthcare providers, such as nurses, may administer drugs on a daily
YL
basis, whereas others may administer drugs occasionally. An extensive knowledge of
pharmacology is necessary to properly educate and advise patients regarding their healthcare
needs.
