ANS 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

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."
ANS 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 UNDERSTAND PHARMACOLOGY, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE PART OF THE
CURRICULUM. PHARMACOLOGY IS AN OUTGROWTH OF ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND MICROBIOLOGY,
