After successfully completing the pharmacology course, a student nurse tells the instructor that he is glad this difficult course is finished. What is the best response from the nursing instructor?
1. "It might be over, but now you will start your clinical courses and apply your knowledge."
2. "If you think this course was hard, you should try the graduate level."
3. "Learning is an ongoing process in pharmacology; we must continue to stay up to date."
4. "Learning difficult material is always painful, but it is necessary."
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The student will apply the knowledge of drug therapy in the clinical setting, but this does not address the need for lifelong learning in drug therapy.
Rationale 2: Telling the student that the graduate course is hard does not address the need for lifelong learning for the student to stay current with drug therapy.
Rationale 3: Learning is an ongoing process in pharmacology to stay current with drug therapy.
Rationale 4: This statement does not describe the need for lifelong learning to stay competent in the field of pharmacology.
Global Rationale: The best response by the nurse is to tell the student that earning is an ongoing process in pharmacology to stay current with drug therapy. The other statements do not address the need for lifelong learning in drug therapy and the field of pharmacology.
