Question 2 g
gType:
MCSA
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gas well as microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
gbest response by the instructor?
g g g g
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."g g g g g g g
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
curriculum."
g
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
including the administration of medications."
g g g g g
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
g g g g g g g g g g
Correct Answer: 4 g g
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this
g g g g g g g g g g g g
gis not the most complete reason for the nurse to learn them.
g g g g g g g g g g g
, Rationale 2: The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand
g g g g g g g g g g g
pharmacology, not because they are part of the curriculum.

Rationale 3: Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
g g g g g g g g g g g g
pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
g g g g g g g g g g
Rationale 4: It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
order to learn pharmacology.
