Explanation:
Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and cocai
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
ne, but not penicillin.

By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laborator

courses when learning about pharmacology. Which response will the instructor make? "Bec
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
ause pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
"You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
"Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx

Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not beca
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
use they are part of the curriculum.
vx vx vx vx vx vx
Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
,pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications. vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
pharmacology.

An older client with gastrointestinal bleeding asks why the condition developed when only i

buprofen was used to self-treat arthritis. Which response should the nurse make?
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
"There are nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain."
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
"Maybe you should take acetaminophen because it is safer."
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
"Ask your healthcare provider before taking over-the-
vx vx vx vx vx vx
counter medications." "I'm going to review the side effects of ibuprofen wit
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
h you."
vx
Answer: 4 Explanati v x vx
on:
Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but i
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
t's not the highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial; however, it is beyond the nurse's scope of practice to su
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
ggest or prescribe medications.
vx vx vx
It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact the healthcare provider prior to taking any
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx v
xover-the-
counter medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibupro
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
fen may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
It is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the disadvantages (inclu
vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx vx
ding side effects), of all medications and supplements the client is taking.
