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.

Cognitive Level: Applying
Client Need/Sub: Physiological Integrity: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
Standards: QSEN Competencies: I.A.1 Integrate understanding of multiple dimensions
of patient-centered care: patient/family/community preferences, values; coordination
and integration of care; information, communication, and education; physical comfort
and emotional support; involvement of family and friends; and transition and continuity.

disciplines to inform decision making. | NLN Competencies: Knowledge and Science:
Integration of knowledge from nursing and other disciplines. | Nursing/Integrated
Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation
Learning Outcome: 1-1 Identify key events in the history of pharmacology.
MNL Learning Outcome: 1.1 Examine the relationship between medicine and
pharmacology.
2) A student nurse asks a nursing instructor why anatomy and physiology as well as
microbiology are required courses when the student only wants to learn about
pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor?
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
2. "You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
4. "An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology."
Answer: 4
Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but
this is not the most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
2. The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand
pharmacology, not because they are part of the curriculum.
, 3. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to
understand pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of
medications.
4. It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in
order to learn pharmacology.

example of how knowledge from different sciences impacts the nurse's role in drug
administration.
MNL Learning Outcome: 1.1 Examine the relationship between medicine and
pharmacology.
3) A nurse is teaching a group of nurses about the differences between pharmacology
and therapeutics. The nurse determines that learning has occurred when which
statements are made?
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
Select all that apply.
1. "Pharmacology is the development of medicines."
2. "Pharmacology is the study of medicines."
3. "Therapeutics relates to drug use to treat suffering."
4. "Therapeutics is the study of drug interactions."
5. "Pharmacology is the study of drugs to prevent disease."
Answer: 2, 3, 5
Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is not the development of medicines.
2. Pharmacology is the study of medicines.
3. Therapeutics is the use of drugs in the treatment of suffering.
4. Therapeutics is not related to study of drug interactions.
5. Pharmacotherapy is the application of drugs for the purpose of disease
prevention.
