,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, but this is not the reason for the nurse to
learn them. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to
understand pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.

Type: MCSA
The nurse administers a vaccine to a child. What is the best understanding of the nurse as it
relates to the manufacture of this vaccine?
1. The vaccine is produced by natural plant extracts in the laboratory.
2. The vaccine is naturally produced in animal cells or microorganisms.
3. The vaccine is produced by a combination of animal and plant products.
4. The vaccine is most commonly synthesized in a laboratory.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Vaccines are not produced by natural plant extracts.
Rationale 2: Vaccines are naturally produced in animal cells, microorganisms, or by the body
itself.
Rationale 3: Vaccines are not produced by a combination of animal and plant products.
Rationale 4: Vaccines are not synthesized in a laboratory.

,Question 5
Type: MCSA
The older adult client has gastrointestinal bleeding. The client says to the nurse, "I don't
understand this. All I did was take ibuprofen (Advil) for my arthritis." Which plan would be best
as it relates to the nurse's education of this client?
1. A plan to teach the client to use drugs that bypass the gastrointestinal system, like topical
drugs
2. A plan to teach the client to substitute safer drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol)
3. A plan to teach the client to obtain physician approval prior to the use of over-the-counter
(OTC) medications
4. A plan to teach the advantages and disadvantages of ibuprofen (Advil)
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The use of topical drugs may be an option, but the drug a client needs may not be
available in this form.
Rationale 2: Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial, but this cannot be done in all
situations.
Rationale 3: It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact their physician prior to taking
any over-the-counter (OTC) medication.
Rationale 4: Since elderly clients account for the use of about 40% of all over-the-counter (OTC)
medications, it is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the
disadvantages, of these medications.
Global Rationale: Since older adult clients account for the use of about 40% of all over-

Question 6
Type: MCSA
The nursing instructor teaches the student nurses about the pharmacological classification of
drugs. The instructor evaluates that learning has occurred when the students make which
response?
1. "An anti-anginal treats angina."
2. "A calcium channel blocker blocks heart calcium channels."
3. "An antihypertensive lowers blood pressure."
4. "An anticoagulant influences blood clotting."
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: To say that a drug treats angina addresses the therapeutic usefulness of the drug,
not the pharmacological classification.
Rationale 2: The pharmacological classification addresses a drug's mechanism of action, or how
a drug produces its effect in the body.
Rationale 3: To say that a drug lowers blood pressure addresses the therapeutic usefulness of
the drug, not the pharmacological classification.
Rationale 4: To say that a drug influences blood clotting addresses the therapeutic usefulness
of the drug, not the pharmacological classification.
Global Rationale: The pharmacological classification addresses a drug's mechanism of action, or
how a drug produces its effect in the body. To say that a drug influences blood clotting
addresses the therapeutic usefulness of the drug, not the pharmacological classification. To say
that a drug treats angina addresses the therapeutic usefulness of the drug, not the
