Chapter 1 Introduction to Pharmacology
1) A nurse is reviewing key events in the history of pharmacology with a student nurse.
Which student comment indicates an understanding?
1. "Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
2. "A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
3. "Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source."
4. "Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratory in the nineteenth
century."
ANSWER: 1
Explanation:
1. Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test
subjects.
2. An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
3. Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine,
curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin.
4. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the
laboratory.
