Explanation:
Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects. A
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
n early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and cocain
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
e, but not penicillin.

By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.

Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the m
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
ost essential reason for the nurse to learn them.

The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not becaus

An older client with gastrointestinal bleeding asks why the condition developed when only ibu

profen was used to self-treat arthritis. Which response should the nurse make?
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
"There are nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain." "
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
Maybe you should take acetaminophen because it is safer."

"Ask your healthcare provider before taking over-the-
xt xt xt xt xt xt
counter medications." "I'm going to review the side effects of ibuprofen with
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
you."
Answer: 4 Explanati x t xt
on:
Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but it's
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
not the highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt x
have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
t xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial; however, it is beyond the nurse's scope of practice to sugge
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
st or prescribe medications.
xt xt xt
It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact the healthcare provider prior to taking any ov
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
er-the-
counter medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofe
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
n may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
It is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the disadvantages (includi
xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt xt
ng side effects), of all medications and supplements the client is taking.
