Question 2 y# y#
Type: MCSA y#
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology
y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y#
, as well as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the b
y # y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y#
est response by the instructor?
y# y# y# y#
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
y# y# y# y# y# y# y#
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part
y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y# y#
of the curriculum."
y# y#
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient car
