1. Initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.
e e e e e e
2. Early researchers used themselves as test subjects.
e e e e e e
3. The initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
e e e e e e e e e
4. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s.
e e e e e e
5. Pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the twentieth century. e e e e e e e e e
Correct Answer: 2,3,5 e e
Rationale 1: Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicines,
e e e e e e e e e e e
curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin.
e e e e e
Rationale 2: Some early researchers, such as Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
Rationale 3: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve huma
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
n suffering.
e
Rationale 4: Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s.
e e e e e e e e e e e
Rationale 5: By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.
e e e e e e e e e e e e
Global Rationale: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to reliev
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
e human suffering, and early researchers used themselves as test subjects. Initial drugs included m
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
orphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Modern pharmacology began in the e
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
arly 1800s, not the 1600s. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the

Question 2 e e
Type:
MCSA
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well as
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best response by the instr
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
uctor?
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."e e e e e e e
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the cur
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
riculum."
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, including the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
administration of medications." e e
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
e e e e e e e e e e
Correct Answer: 4 e e
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is n
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
ot the most complete reason for the nurse to learn them.
e e e e e e e e e e
, Rationale 2: The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmac
e e e e e e e e e e e e
ology, not because they are part of the curriculum.
e e e e e e e e
Rationale 3: Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to underst
e e e e e e e e e e e e
and pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
e e e e e e e e e e
Rationale 4: It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order t
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
o learn pharmacology.
