question 1
type:
mcma
the nurse is teaching a pharmacology class to student nurses. what
does the nurse include as key events in the history of pharmacology?
note: credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect
choices are selected.
standard text: select all that apply.
1. initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.
2. early researchers used themselves as test subjects.
3. the initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human
suffering.
4. modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s.
5. pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the
twentieth century.
correct answer: 2,3,5
rationale 1: initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included
morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin.
rationale 2: some early researchers, such as friedrich serturner, used
themselves as test subjects.
,rationale 3: the early roots of pharmacology included the application
of products to relieve human suffering.
rationale 4: modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the
1600s.
rationale 5: by the twentieth century, pharmacologists could
synthesize drugs in the laboratory.
global rationale: the early roots of pharmacology included the
application of products to relieve human suffering, and early
researchers used themselves as test subjects. initial drugs included
morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. modern
pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s. by the
twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the
laboratory.
cognitive level: applying
client need: physiological integrity
client need sub: pharmacological and parenteral therapies
qsen competencies: i.a.1 integrate understanding of multiple
dimensions of patient centered care: patient/family/community
preferences, values; coordination and integration of care;
information, communication, and education; physical comfort and
emotional support; involvement of family and friends; and transition
and community.
aacn essential competencies: i.7 integrate the knowledge and
methods of a variety of disciplines to inform decision making.
nln competencies: knowledge and science: integration of knowledge
from nursing and other disciplines.
,nursing/integrated concepts: nursing process: implementation
learning outcome: 1-1 identify key events in the history of
pharmacology.
mnl learning outcome: 1.1.1 apply basic concepts related to
pharmacology.

question 2
type:
mcsa
the student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take
anatomy and physiology, as well as microbiology, when he only wants
to learn about pharmacology. what is the best response by the
instructor?
1. "because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
2. "you must learn all, since those subjects, as well as
pharmacology, are part of the curriculum."
3. "knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the
best patient care, including the administration of medications."
,4. "because an understanding of those subjects is essential to
understanding pharmacology."
correct answer: 4
rationale 1: pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology,
and microbiology, but this is not the most complete reason for the
nurse to learn them.
rationale 2: the nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and
microbiology to understand pharmacology, not because they are part
of the curriculum.
rationale 3: knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology
prepares the nurse to understand pharmacology, not to provide care
such as administration of medications.
rationale 4: it is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge
base of many sciences in order to learn pharmacology.
global rationale: it is essential for the nurse to have a broad
knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn pharmacology. the
nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to

curriculum. pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology,

the nursing instructor is teaching a pharmacology class to student
nurses. the current focus is pharmacology and therapeutics. the
nursing instructor determines that learning has occurred when the
students make which comments?
