Explanation:
Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects. An
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and cocaine,
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
but not penicillin.

By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory. P

Explanation:
Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0essential reason for the nurse to learn them. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand pharmacology, not because
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
they are part of the curriculum.
0 0 0 0 0
Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
,pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to learn pharma

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

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

"Ask your healthcare provider before taking over-the-
0 0 0 0 0 0
counter medications." "I'm going to review the side effects of ibuprofen with yo
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
u."
Answer: 4 Explanatio 0 0
n:
Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but it's no
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
t the highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may have
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
increased the risk of having a GI bleed. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial; however, it is beyond the nurse's scope of practice to sugges
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
t or prescribe medications.
0 0 0
It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact the healthcare provider prior to taking any over-
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
the-
counter medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
may have increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
It is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the disadvantages (including
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
side effects), of all medications and supplements the client is taking.

increased the risk of having a GI bleed. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
