Chapter 1
Question1 4. Understanding how drugs take their effects
Type: MCMA
The nurse is teaching a pharmacology class to a group of student nurses. Which key events does the nurse include in the history of pharmacology?
Correct Answer: 1
Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Rationale 1: The early root of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering. Rationale
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
2: The early root of pharmacology was not to create new drugs quickly. Rationale 3:
1. Early researchers used themselves and animals as test subjects.
2. Pharmacologists began to synthesize drugs in the laboratory in the 20th century.
Early pharmacology involved using plants to relieve symptoms of suffering.
3. Modern pharmacology began in the mid-1600s. Rationale 4: The early root of pharmacology was not to understand how drugs take their effects.
4. The first drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.
Global Rationale: The early root of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering, not to create new drugs
5. The Dark Ages provided much useful information that we still use today. quickly or to understand how drugs take their effects. Early pharmacology did involve using plants to relieve
Correct Answer: 1,2 symptoms of suffering.
Rationale 1: Early researchers did use themselves and animals as test subjects.
Rationale 2: Pharmacologists did begin to synthesize drugs in the laboratory in the 20th century. Question3
Rationale 3: Modern pharmacology began in the 1800s, not 1600s.
Type: MCSA
Rationale 4: The first drugs included morphine and cocaine, but not penicillin. Although many substances can be considered drugs, which drug definition is the most appropriate?
Rationale 5: Little is known about pharmacology during the Dark Ages.
1. Any substance that is found in nature or that normally occurs in the body
Global Rationale: The nurse would state that early researchers did use themselves and animals as test subjects; pharmacologists did begin to synthesize drugs
in the laboratory in the 20th century; and modern pharmacology began in the 1800s, not 1600s. The first drugs included morphine and cocaine, but not
penicillin. Little is known about pharmacology during the Dark Ages. 2. Any substance that is synthesized and tested in the laboratory setting
Question2
Type: MCSA 3. Any substance that is taken to prevent, cure, or reduce symptoms of a medical condition
Although all areas of medicine, including pharmacology, have made great advances in the last century, the early roots of pharmacology still apply for the nurse 4. Any substance that can be isolated from natural substances in nature
and other health professionals. What were the early roots of pharmacology?
1. Applying products to relieve human suffering Correct Answer: 3
2. Creating new drugs as quickly as possible
Rationale 1: A drug is not a substance that is found in nature or that normally occurs in the human body.
Rationale 2: A drug is not only a substance that is synthesized and tested.
Rationale 3: A drug is considered to be any substance that is taken to prevent, cure, or reduce symptoms of a
medical condition.
Rationale 4: A drug is not only a substance isolated from natural substances.
Global Rationale: A drug is considered to be any substance that is taken to prevent, cure, or reduce symptoms of
a medical condition. A drug is not a substance that is found in nature or that normally occurs in the human body; it
is not any substance that is synthesized and tested in the laboratory setting, nor is it only a substance isolated from
natural substances.

development of a drug.
Rationale 4: Companies usually do not change the trade name of a drug.
Rationale 2: The period of exclusivity is not granted so that consumers will become familiar with a trade name.
Global Rationale: Nurses typically do not use the trade name of medications because a drug can have more than
one trade name. There are trade names for combination drugs. Trade names do not expire, and they will continue Rationale 3: Adverse effects are discovered during the clinical drug trials, not during the period of exclusivity.

Rationale 4: Tablet compression can affect the bioavailability of a drug.
Question12
Type: MCSA Global Rationale: Safety margin will not affect the bioavailability of a drug. Inert ingredients, the safety margin,
