Question 1

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?

Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.

Standard Text: Select all that apply.

1. Early researchers used themselves and animals as test subjects.

2. Pharmacologists began to synthesize drugs in the laboratory in the 20th century.

3. Modern pharmacology began in the mid-1600s.

4. The first drugs included morphine, cocaine, and penicillin.

5. The Dark Ages provided much useful information that we still use today.

Correct Answer: 1,2

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.

Rationale 3: Modern pharmacology began in the 1800s, not 1600s.

Rationale 4: The first drugs included morphine and cocaine, but not penicillin.

Rationale 5: Little is known about pharmacology during the Dark Ages.

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.

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 and other health professionals. What were the early roots of

pharmacology?

Rationale 2: The early root of pharmacology was not to create new drugs quickly.

Rationale 3: Early pharmacology involved using plants to relieve symptoms of suffering.

Rationale 4: The early root of pharmacology was not to understand how drugs take their effects.

Global Rationale: The early root of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering, not to create new drugs

quickly or to understand how drugs take their effects. Early pharmacology did involve using plants to relieve

symptoms of suffering.
