Chapter 1
Question 1
Type:
MCMA
,The nurse is teaching a pharmacology class to student nurses. What does the nurse include as
key events in the history of pharmacology?
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. Initial drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.
2. Early researchers used themselves as test subjects.
3. The initial intention of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
4. Modern pharmacology began in the early 1600s.
5. Pharmacologists synthesized drugs in the laboratory in the twentieth century.
Correct Answer: 2,3,5
Rationale 1: Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine,
colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin.
Rationale 2: Some early researchers, such as Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test
subjects.
Rationale 3: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to relieve
human suffering.
Rationale 4: Modern pharmacology began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s.
Rationale 5: By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the
laboratory.
Global Rationale: The early roots of pharmacology included the application of products to
relieve human suffering, and early researchers used themselves as test subjects. Initial drugs
included morphine, colchicines, curare, and cocaine, but not penicillin. Modern pharmacology
began in the early 1800s, not the 1600s. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could
synthesize drugs in the laboratory.

Question 2
Type:
MCSA
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as
well as microbiology, when he 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 those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the
curriculum."
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, including
the administration of medications."
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this
is not the most complete reason for the nurse to learn them.
