TEST BANK FOR Pharmacology for Nurses A
Pathophysiologic Approach, 7th Edition by Michael P.
Adams Norman Holland Shanti Chang
Chapter 1 Introduction to Pharmacology

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

Cognitive Level: Analyzing
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 Domains and
Competencies: 1.1 Demonstrate an understanding of the discipline of nursing's distinct perspective
and where shared perspectives exist with other disciplines. | 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: Examine the relationship between medicine and pharmacology.
The nursing student asks why anatomy and physiology as well as microbiology are required
courses when learning about pharmacology. Which response will the instructor make?
"Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
"You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
"Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
"An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology."
Answer: 4
Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the
most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not
because they are part of the curriculum.
Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand

pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn
pharmacology.

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 Domains and

and where shared perspectives exist with other disciplines. | NLN Competencies: Knowledge and
Science: Integration of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. | Nursing/Integrated
Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation
Learning Outcome: 1-2 Explain the interdisciplinary nature of pharmacology, giving an example
of how knowledge from different sciences impacts the nurse's role in drug administration.
MNL Learning Outcome: Identify how drugs are named and classified.
The nurse is teaching about the differences between pharmacology and therapeutics. Which
statement indicates that teaching was effective?
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select
all that apply.
"Pharmacology is the development of medicines."
"Pharmacology is the study of medicines."
"Therapeutics relates to drug use to treat suffering."
"Therapeutics is the study of drug interactions."
"Pharmacology is the study of drugs to prevent disease and alleviate suffering."
Answer: 2, 3, 5
Explanation:
Pharmacology is not the development of medicines.
Pharmacology is the study of medicines.
Therapeutics is the use of drugs in the treatment of suffering.
Therapeutics is not related to the study of drug interactions.
Pharmacology is the study of drugs for the purpose of disease prevention and to alleviate
suffering.

The nurse is preparing to administer a vaccine to a client. Which information about the
manufacture of vaccines should the nurse recall when administering this medication?
The vaccine is produced by natural plant extracts in the laboratory.
The vaccine is naturally produced in animal cells or microorganisms.
The vaccine is produced by a combination of animal and plant products.
The vaccine is most commonly synthesized in a laboratory.
Answer: 2
Explanation:
Vaccines are not produced by natural plant extracts.
Vaccines are naturally produced in animal cells, microorganisms, or by the body itself.
Vaccines are not produced by a combination of animal and plant products.
Vaccines are not synthesized in a laboratory.

An older client with gastrointestinal bleeding asks why the condition developed when only
ibuprofen was used to self-treat arthritis. Which response should the nurse make?
"There are nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain."
"Maybe you should take acetaminophen because it is safer."
"Ask your healthcare provider before taking over-the-counter medications."
"I'm going to review the side effects of ibuprofen with you."
Answer: 4
Explanation:
Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but it's
not the highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may
have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial; however, it is beyond the nurse's scope of practice to
suggest or prescribe medications.
It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact the healthcare provider prior to taking any
over-the-counter medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how
ibuprofen may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
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.
