During pharmacology class, the student nurse asks the nursing instructor how students will ever learn about the individual antibiotic drugs since there are so many. What is the best response by the nursing instructor?
1. "You will learn a little trick called mnemonics."
2. "You will learn how to do a flow chart to enhance memory."
3. "You will learn how to categorize the individual drugs."
4. "You will learn a representative drug from each class."
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: A prototype, or representative, drug is the well-understood drug model from which other drugs in a pharmacological class are compared. Categorizing individual drugs is not the best way to learn about drugs. Using mnemonics is not the best way to learn about drugs. Flow charts are not the best way to learn about drugs.
