"Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
iu iu iu iu iu iu



"A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."

u1
Explanation:
Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects. An
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and cocaine,
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



but not penicillin.
iu iu



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

iu iu i u iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



nursing student asks why anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology are required courses
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



when learning about pharmacology. Which response will the instructor make? "Because pharm

acology is an outgrowth of those subjects." iu iu iu iu iu iu



"You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum." "Kn
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu

iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



nderstanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology." Answe iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu

Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu i



essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
u iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not because t
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



hey are part of the curriculum.
iu iu iu iu iu



Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu

,pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications. iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn pharma

counter medications." "I'm going to review the side effects of ibuprofen with y

ou."
Answer: 4 Explanati i u iu



on:
Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but it's n
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



ot the highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may ha
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



ve increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



Substitution of other drugs maybe beneficial; however, it is beyond the nurse's scope of practice to suggest
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



or prescribe medications.
iu iu



It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact the healthcare provider prior to taking any over-
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



the-
counter medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu iu



It is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the disadvantages (including

side effects), of all medications and supplements the client is taking.
