1. Initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.
a a a a a a
2. Early researchers used themselves as test subjects.
a a a a a a
3. The initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
a a a a a a a a a
4. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s.
a a a a a a
5. Pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the twentieth century.a a a a a a a a a
Correct Answer: 2,3,5
a a
Rationale 1: Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine,
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
but not penicillin.
a a a
Rationale 2: Some early researchers, such as Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Rationale 3: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve human suffering.
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
Rationale 4: Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s.
a a a a a a a a a a a
Rationale 5: By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.
a a a a a a a a a a a a
Global Rationale: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve human
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
suffering, and early researchers used themselves as test subjects. Initial drugs included morphine, colchicines,
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s. By the
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory.

Question 2 a

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