1) A nurse is reviewing key events in the history of pharmacology with a student
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
nurse.Which student comment indicates an understanding?
h h h h h h h
1. "Early researchers used themselves as test subjects." h h h h h h
2. "A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
h h h h h h h h
3. "Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source." h h h h h h h h h h h
4. "Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratory in the h h h h h h h h
nineteenthcentury."h h
ANSWER: 1 h
hExplanation
:
1. Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as
h h h h h h h h
testsubjects. h h
2. An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
h h h h h h h h h
3. Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine,
h h h h h h h
colchicine,curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin.

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

2) A student nurse asks a nursing instructor why anatomy and physiology as well
h h h h h h h h h h h h
asmicrobiology are required courses when the student only wants to learn
h h h h h h h h h h h h
about pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor?
h h h h h h h h h h
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects." h h h h h h h
2. "You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication." h h h h h h h h h h
4. "An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand

hpharmacology."ANSWER: 4 h h
Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, h h h h h h h h
butthis is not the most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
