Chapter 1 l Introduction to Pharmacology l l l




The nurse is reviewing key events in the history of pharmacology with a student nurse. Which studen
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


t comment indicates an understanding?
l l l l


"Early researchers used themselves as test subjects." l l l l l l


"A primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
l l l l l l l l


"Penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source." l l l l l l l l l l l


"Pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratoryin the nineteenth century." Answer: 1 l l l l l l l l l l l l


Explanation:
Some earlyresearchers, like Friedrich Serturner, used themselves as test subjects. An ea
l l l l l l l l l l l l


rly goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
l l l l l l l l


Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and cocaine, bu
l l l l l l l l l l l l


t not penicillin.

Bythe twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugs in the laboratory. Pag

MNL Learning Outcome: Examine the relationship between medicine and pharmacology. The nu
l l l l l l l l l l l


rsing student asks why anatomyand physiologyas well as microbiologyare required courses when l
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


earning about pharmacology. Which response will the instructor make? "Because pharmacology is
l l l l l l l l l l l


an outgrowth of those subjects."
l l l l l


"You must learn all, since all of those subjects are part of the curriculum." "Knowl
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


edge of all those subjects will prepare you to administer medication." "An underst
l l l l l l l l l l l l


anding of those subjects is essential to understand pharmacology." Answer: 4
l l l l l l l l l l


Explanation:
Pharmacologyis an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most es l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l


sential reason for the nurse to learn them. l l l l l l l


Thenurse must learn anatomy, physiology, and microbiologyto understand pharmacology, not because the
l l l l l l l l l l l l l


y are part of the curriculum.
l l l l l


Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology prepares the nurse to understand l l l l l l l l l l

, pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications. l l l l l l l l l


It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of manysciences in order to learn pharmacol
