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

Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need/Sub: Physiological Integrity: Pharmacological and Parenteral
Therapies Standards: 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 continuity.
| AACN Essential Competencies: I.7 Integrate the knowledge and methods of a
variety ofdisciplines to inform decision making. | NLN Competencies: Knowledge
and Science: Integration of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. |
Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation
Learning Outcome: 1-1 Identify key events in the history of pharmacology.
MNL Learning Outcome: 1.1 Examine the relationship between medicine
andpharmacology.
2) A student nurse asks a nursing instructor why anatomy and physiology as
well asmicrobiology are required courses when the student 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 all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
4. "An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand
pharmacology."Answer: 4
Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology,
butthis is not the most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
2. The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to
understandpharmacology, not because they are part of the curriculum.
