A nurse is teaching a group of nurses about the difference between pharmacology and therapeutics. Which statement indicates learning has occurred?

Pharmacology involves the development of medicines
Pharmacology is the study of medicines
Therapeutics is related to drug use to treat suffering
Therapeutics is the study of drug interactions

The correct answer is: Pharmacology is the study of medicines

One indication of learning in this situation would be the ability to accurately differentiate between pharmacology and therapeutics. Option A is incorrect because it only describes one aspect of pharmacology (development), while B gives a more comprehensive definition. Option C is only partially correct, as therapeutics encompasses more than just treating suffering. Option D is completely incorrect, as it describes the field of pharmacology instead of therapeutics. Option B, with its clear and accurate explanation of what pharmacology is, would indicate that learning has occurred.
