Pharmacology for Nurses, 6e (Adams)
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.
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.
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? (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 the study of drug interactions.
5. Pharmacotherapy is the application of drugs for the purpose of disease prevention.
4) A nurse administers a vaccine to a client. What is the nurse's best understanding as it relates to the
manufacture of a 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."
**Answer: 2**
Explanation:
1. Vaccines are not produced by natural plant extracts.
2. Vaccines are naturally produced in animal cells, microorganisms, or by the body itself.
3. Vaccines are not produced by a combination of animal and plant products.
4. Vaccines are not synthesized in a laboratory.
5) An older client is admitted with gastrointestinal bleeding. The client says to the nurse, "I don't understand
this. All I did was take ibuprofen (Advil) for my arthritis." What is the nurse's best response?
1. Review nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain.
2. Encourage the client to substitute safer drugs, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol).
3. Remind the client to contact their healthcare provider before taking any over-the-counter (OTC)
medications.
4. Teach the client about the side effects of ibuprofen (Advil).

**Answer: 4**
Explanation:
1. Reviewing nonpharmacologic methods to relieve joint pain is appropriate for this client, but it's not the
highest priority. It doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may have increased the
risk of having a GI bleed.
2. Substitution of other drugs may be beneficial, but this cannot be done in all situations. In addition, it
doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may have increased the risk of having a GI
bleed.
3. It is not a realistic plan to expect clients to contact their physician prior to taking any over-the-counter
(OTC) medication. In addition, it doesn't address the client's current concern about how ibuprofen may have
increased the risk of having a GI bleed.
4. It is essential for the nurse to teach clients about the advantages, and the disadvantages (including side
effects), of all medications and supplements the client is taking.
6) A nurse teaches a student nurse about the pharmacological classification of drugs. The nurse evaluates that
learning has occurred when the student makes 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."
