Chapter 1 Introduction to Pharmacology
1) A nurse is reviewing key eventsin the history of pharmacology with a student nurse. Which
student comment indicates an understanding?
1. "Early researchers used themselves astest 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 astestsubjects.
2. An early goal of pharmacology wasto relieve human suffering.
3. Initial drugsisolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare, and
cocaine, but not penicillin.
4. By the twentieth century, pharmacologists could synthesize drugsin 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 subjectsis essentialto 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 preparesthe nurse to understand
pharmacology, not to provide care such as administration of medications.
4. It is essential for the nurse to have a broad knowledge base of many sciences in order to
learn pharmacology.
