Chapter 1 Introduction to
Pharmacology
1) A nurse is reviewing keyKevents inKthe historyKofKpharmacology with
aKstudent nurse.Which2stu dKentKcomment indicates anKunderstanding?
1. "Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
2. "A primary goal ofKpharmacology is2to prevent disease."
3. "Penicillin is one ofKthe initial drugs isolated from aKnatural source."
4. "Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs inKthe laboratory in the nineteenthcentury."
ANS; 1
Explanation:
1. Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as testsubjects.
2. An earlyKgoal ofKpharmacologyKwas to relieve humanKsuffering.
3. Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine,
colchicine,curare, a ndKcocaine, but notKpenicillin.
4. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists couldKsynthesize drugs inKthelaboratory
