"An wunderstanding wof wthose wsubjects wis wessential wto wunderstand
wpharmacology." wAnswer: w4
Explanation:
Pharmacology wis wan woutgrowth wof wanatomy, wphysiology, wand wmicrobiology,
wbut wthis wis wnot wthe wmost wessential wreason wfor wthe wnurse wto wlearn wthem.
The wnurse wmust wlearn wanatomy, wphysiology, wand wmicrobiology wto
wunderstand wpharmacology, wnot wbecause wthey ware wpart wof wthe
wcurriculum.
, Knowledge wof wanatomy, wphysiology, wand wmicrobiology wprepares wthe
wnurse wto wunderstand wpharmacology, wnot wto wprovide wcare wsuch was
wadministration wof wmedications.
It wis wessential wfor wthe wnurse wto whave wa wbroad wknowledge wbase wof wmany
