,Question 1 — Easy — MCQ
A nursing student asks, “What does the term drug mean in
pharmacology?” Which response is most accurate?
A. A substance used only to treat disease
B. Any chemical capable of altering living processes
C. A substance approved by a regulatory agency for human use
D. Any substance that produces a therapeutic effect
Correct Answer:
B. Any chemical capable of altering living processes
Rationale:
In pharmacology, a drug is broadly defined as a chemical that can
affect living processes. The definition is broader than substances
used only therapeutically. Regulatory approval and therapeutic
benefit are not requirements of the basic definition. (studylib.net)
Question 2 — Easy — MCQ

B. The study of drugs and their interactions with living systems
C. The study of disease processes without consideration of
medications
D. The study of medication administration techniques by nurses
Correct Answer:
B. The study of drugs and their interactions with living systems
Rationale:
Pharmacology examines drugs and their interactions with living
systems, including their physical and chemical characteristics and
their effects on body processes. Drug administration and
, therapeutic use are important applications of pharmacology but
do not define the entire discipline. (studylib.net)
