Type:

MCSA
The student nurse asks the nursing instructor why he needs to take anatomy and physiology, as well as
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
microbiology, when he only wants to learn about pharmacology. What is the best response by the instructor?
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
1. "Because pharmacology is an outgrowth of those subjects."
c c c c c c c
2. "You must learn all, since those subjects, as well as pharmacology, are part of the curriculum."
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
3. "Knowledge of all those subjects will prepare you to provide the best patient care, including the administration of
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
cmedications."
4. "Because an understanding of those subjects is essential to understanding pharmacology."

Correct Answer: 4 c c
Rationale 1: Pharmacology is an outgrowth of anatomy, physiology, and microbiology, but this is not the most complete
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
reason for the nurse to learn them.

are part of the curriculum.

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

pharmacology.
