student comment indicates an understanding?
w w w w w
1. "Early researchers used themselves as test subjects."
w w w w w w
2. "A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
w w w w w w w w
3. "Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source."
w w w w w w w w w w w
4. "Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratory in the nineteenth century." w w w w w w w w w w
wAnswer: 1 w
Explanation:
1. Some early researchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects.
w w w w w w w w w w
2. An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.

2) A student nurse asks a nursing instructor why anatomy and physiology as well as
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
microbiology are required courses when the student only wants to learn about
w w w w w w w w w w w w
pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor?
w w w w w w w w w
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects." w w w w w w w
2. "You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum."
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication."
w w w w w w w w w w
4. "An understanding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology."
w w w w w w w w w
wAnswer: 4 w
Explanation:
1. Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not
w w w w w w w w w w w w
the most essential reason for the nurse to learn them.
w w w w w w w w w w
2. The nurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiology to understand
w w w w w w w w w
pharmacology, not because they are part of the curriculum.
w w w w w w w w w
3. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand
w w w w w w w w w w
pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
w w w w w w w w w w
4. It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order t
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
o learn pharmacology. w w
