HISTORY: THE DRUG REVOLUTION

The drug revolution began about 1800 and has continued to the present. During this
period, scientists have discovered hundreds of drugs. They have also discovered the cause
of many diseases, determined how drugs work, and learned much about how the body
functions. In the process, the practice of medicine has been revolutionized, in large part
by the use of drugs. Pharmacology has developed into a major science, and the
manufacture of drugs has become a large industry.

In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English physician, developed the first successful vaccination
in an effort to prevent the deadly disease smallpox. He vaccinated a boy with push from
blisters n a woman infected with cowpox. The boy the caught cowpox, a minor disease
related to smallpox. Jenner later injected smallpox matter into the boy. But the boy did
not catch smallpox because his fight with cowpox has made his body immune (resistant)
to smallpox. Jenner’s discovery led to search for vaccine against other diseases. This
search gradually developed into the science of immunology.

Scientists learned how to isolate (separate) drugs from plants during the early 1800’s. In
1806, morphine became the first of the plant drugs to be isolated. Within a few years,
scientists had also isolated quinine.

In 1840’s, the use of anesthetics during surgery was introduced by two Americans
working independently of each other – Crawford Long, a physician, and Willian T.G.
Moston, a dentist. Later in the 1800’s, the French scientist Louis Pasteur and the German
physician Robert Koch established the germ theory of disease. Pasteur proved that germs
caused infectious disease and that killing the germs responsible stopped the spread of
such diseases. Koch developed a method for determining which bacteria cause particular
diseases.

The pace of drug revolution quickened in the 1900’s. In fact, most of the major drugs
used today have been discovered since 1900. Important developments in hormone

1
research followed the first isolation of a hormone in 1898. That year, an American
pharmacologist. John J. Abel, isolated the hormone epinephrine, also called adrenalin.
Scientist isolated several other hormones during the next 20 years. Then in the early
1920’s, a research team led by Frederic Bating, a Canadian physician, discovered the
hormone insulin. Since then, this drug has saved the lives of millions of diabetics.

In the early 1900’s, Paul Ehrlich, a German scientist, developed the new method of
treating infectious disease. This method called chemotherapy, involves the use of
chemical that attack disease-causing organism. It is also used to destroy cancer.

The first antibiotic, penicillin, was discovered in 1928 by British scientist Alexander
Fleming. A German physician, Gerhard Domagk, discovered the first sulfa drug, protocol,
in 1935. Scientist soon developed other antibiotics and sulfa drugs. This ‘wonder drugs’
were remarkably effective against many infectious disease.

Many other important drugs have been discovered since 1900. Barbiturates, which reduce
the activity of the nervous system and the muscles, were introduced in 1903.
Amphetamines, which stimulate the nervous system, were first used medically in the
early 1930’s. Scientists developed several important tranquilizers in the 1950’s, and birth
control pills appeared in 1960. Scientists first used recombinant DNA techniques during
the 1970’s. These techniques involve inserting human genes into bacterial cells or,
occasionally, animal cells causing the cells to produce human protein. In the 1980’s,
researcher applied recombinant DNA technology to produce large quantities of sugar
drugs as insulin and interferon. (Adapted from English For Medical Science, Fatimah,

disebut Uncountable Nouns.

Countble Nouns adalah kata benda yang dapat dihitung, kata benda ini mempunyai
bentuk jamak (plural) dan bentuk tunggal.

5 chairs (jamak), a chair (tunggal).

Countable Nouns tidak boleh berdiri sendiri, kita harus menggunakan a/an/the/ atau
bentuk plural.

Uncountable Nouns adalah kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung, kata benda ini tidak
memiliki bentuk jamak.

Water (bukan: Waters).
Selain itu, kita juga tidak dapat menggunakan a/an di depan kata benda uncountable.
Contoh:
Blood (bukan: a blood)

Nouns That Are Always Plural

Ada beberapa kata benda yang selalu dalam bentuk jamak (plural).Berikut ini adalah
beberapa contoh:

READING COMPREHENSION

AMPHETAMINE

The amphetamines are a group of synthetic drugs with slight chemical differences among
them. They include amphetamine (Benzedrine or “bennies”), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine
or “dexies”), and methamphetamine (Methedrine or “meth” or “speed”).

People have been using and misusing amphetamines for a variety of purposes since they were
introduced almost fifty years ago. Benzedrine was sold over the counter through the l940s, in
an aromatic form used to clear stuffy noses. From the 1 940s on, use of amphetamines in pill
form began to spread. Dieters used them, thinking they were an easy route to weight loss;
students used them to stay awake in all-night cramming sessions; truck drivers used them
when they were struggling to stay awake during long overnight hauls.

The amphetamines have only two legitimate uses in medicine. First, they are used in treating
an extremely rare condition called narcolepsy (an uncontrolled need for short periods of deep
sleep). Second, they, as well as certain other drugs with similar properties, have been used to
treat hyperkinetic (uncontrollably overactive) children.

Some amphetamines have been combined, with each other or with barbiturates or
tranquilizers, in a variety of products marketed primarily for weight control. (Prominent
brand names include Dexamyl, Appetrol, Eskatrol, Nobese, and Obetrol). But it seems
unwise to use of any of the amphetamines as an appetite suppressant.

Unlike alcohol or “ludes”, amphetamines tend to be used by individuals who want them or
think they need ‘them rather than to be shared in social situations. In the short term -- with
just a single, small dose-- amphetamines often have unwanted side effects. These side effects
include nervousness, elevated blood pressure, and headache. These effects will be more
annoying to some people than to others and, obviously, amphetamines are more hazardous for
some people (such as those with heart orders) than others. In large doses or over prolonged
periods, amphetamines have unpredictable effects, which include insomnia, dizziness,

17
agitation, confusion, delirium, and malnutrition.( Adapted from English For Medical Science

GRAMMAR FOCUS
ADJECTIVES (kata sifat)

yang diterangkan. Adjective tidak berubah bentuk baik untuk kata benda tunggal maupun
kata benda jamak.
Contoh:
A beautiful girl (seorang gadis cantik) atau

silly, ugly. Kata-kata ini tidak memiliki bentuk adverbs (kata keterangan). Sebagai
gantinya kita menggunakan struktur yang lain yaitu:
In a . . . way : in a friendly way.

perubahan dalam pengejaan (spelling) adverbs sebagai berikut:
slow, quick and beautiful ditambah dengan –ly menjadi slowly, quickly, and
beautifully.
 Easy, heavy, lazy:
Akhiran –y dirubah menjadi ‘i’ sebelum ditambah –ly menjadi: easily, heavily,

READING COMPREHENSION

Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is the non-medical use of a drug that interferes with a healthy and productive life.
Drug abuse occurs at all economic levels of society, from the wealthy to the impoverished,
and among the young people as well as adults. Many young people begin to use drugs or
alcohol to experiment with the pleasurable effects of drugs, to fit in with peers, or to try on
adult roles and behavior. Most people who experience with drugs or alcohol do not become
addicted. When a person becomes dependent, the drug becomes so rewarding that it may
drive the user to continue taking it despite harmful medical or social consequences.

Some of the most commonly abused drugs can be purchased legally by adults. They include
alcohol beverages, tobacco, inhalants and prescription drugs.Alcohol beverages are one of the
most commonly abused drugs in the world. Alcohol is a depressant that decreases the activity
of the central nervous system. It also interferes with thinking, concentration, judgment, and
movement. Somepeople who repeatedly abuse alcohol develop a dependence on it.

Tobacco is among the most addictive drugs. The addictive element in tobacco product is
nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant, a chemical that excites the central nervous system. Nicotine
addiction causes withdrawal symptoms when a person tries to stop smoking. They may also
experience craving for cigarettes.

Inhalants give off fumes that are inhaled for their intoxicating, mind-altering effects. They
include glues, nail polish, gasoline, and aerosol sprays. Inhalant takes the place of oxygen in
the lungs, depleting the amount of oxygen available to the brain, creating an intoxicating
effect. Inhalants can make the user feel relaxed, restless, uncoordinated, and sometimes
delirious. Some fumes can cause lung, liver and brain damage. They may also lead to heart
failure, coma, and death, primarily due to oxygen depletion.

Prescription drugs can be obtained and used legally only when prescribed by a physician.
Many prescription drugs have a high risk for abuse when taken in greater amounts than

35
prescribed or when used by people for whom they are not prescribed. Commonly abused
prescription drugs include stimulants called amphetamines and analgesics (pain relievers),
tranquilizers. Steroids are a special type of prescription drug used medically for a variety of
purpose. However, some athletes abuse anabolic (muscle building) steroid to increase
muscles size and strength.

In many countries, it is illegal to sell any drug, including alcohol and tobacco products, to
children and adolescence. Many other drugs are illegal for both adults and minors-that is,
under most circumstances their possession and state are forbidden by law. Illegal drug
include marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, club drugs.

Marijuana is the common name hemp, a tall plant that grows in most of the world. The main
addictive chemical in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which can be detected in
urine. People usually smoke the dried leaves and flowers of the plant in cigarette or pipe.
Some may mix marijuana with food and beverages. A sticky resin of the plant, called hashish,
can be eaten or smoked. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant made from the leaves of the coca
plant native to South America. Cocaine is often snorted through the nose. It can also be
smoked in a form called crack cocaine or injected intravenously. Injecting cocaine increases
the risk for inquiring HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Methamphetamine is an addictive drug
that strongly stimulates the central nervous system. Methamphetamine has some limited
medical uses, primarily in the treatment of obesity. Heroin and a group of related drugs called
opiates are made from the sap of the opium poppy. Opium, the dried sap of the poppy’s seed
pods, contains a potent chemical called morphine. Physicians use morphine to relieve severe
pain. Club drugs are created in laboratories. They are known as club drugs because people
often use them at nightclubs, at dance parties called raves, and at other social gatherings.
Common club drug include Ecstasy, GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine.

- I to drink a cup of coffee. (salah)
- I drink a cup of coffee. (benar)

Catatan
Setelah modal auxiliary verbs, infinitive yang digunakan adalah infinitive
tanpa to. Modal auxiliary verbs yang tidak boleh memakai to sesudahnya
adalah will, shall, would, could, can, may, might, must, should, dan needn't
(tetapi bukan need to).

 Beberapa verb (kata kerja) lazim yang didahului object (nouns/ pronouns) kemudian
diikuti oleh infinitives adalah sebagai berikut:

tell someone to, advise someone to, encourage someone to, remind someone to, invite
someone to, permit someone to, allow someone to, warn someone to, require someone to,
order someone to, force someone to, ask someone to, expect someone to, would like someone
to, want someone to, need someone to,

Participle: present and past

Present participle adalah kata yang dibentuk dengan menambahkan suffix (akhiran) -ing
pada kata kerja dasar (verb+ing). Berikut adalah fungsi dari present participle.

 Present Participle sebagai Verb

Sebagai verb, present participle digunakan sebagai komponen dari multiple

verbs bersama verb to be/auxiliary verb [aux+present participle] untuk
membentuk progressive/continuous dan perfect continous tense.

Contoh: Those cars are running so fast.

 Present Participle sebagai Verbal

Sebagai verbal, participle berfungsi sebagai adjective. Sebagai kata

sifat, verbal ini berfungsi memodifikasi/menjelaskan noun.

Misalnya pada kalimat:

1. The rooster crows.

2. The fact interested me.

dapat dibuat menjadi kalimat dengan present participle:

1. The crowing rooster eats a lot.

2. The interesting fact was published.

Dengan demikian crowing dan interesting merupakan present participle

yang berfungsi menjelaskan rooster dan fact. Pada reduksi adjective
clause, relative pronoun dan verb to be (jika ada) dihapus serta ditambahkan -ing
pada active.

Contoh Present Participle pada Reduced Adjective Clause

Adjevtive clause Proses reduksi Reduced adj. clause keterangan

The woman who The woman who The woman working as working merupakan

42
works as English works+ing as English English teacher is very present participle yang
teacher is very teacher is very beautiful didapat melalui
beautiful. beautiful. reduced adjective
(Wanita yang bekerja phrase dimana
sebagai guru bahasa berfungsi
Inggris tersebut sangat menerangkan woman
cantik.)

Past participle

Past participle adalah participle yang dibentuk dengan menambahkan suffix (akhiran) -ed, -
en, -d, -t, -n, atau -ne pada base form yang merupakan regular verb. Sedangkan pada base
form irregular verb, bentuk past participle tidak konsisten.

Base Present tense Past tense Present participle Past participle

form
dig Dig (s) dug digging dug
learn Learn (s) Learned/learnt learning learnt

Berikut adalah fungsi dari past participle.

 Past Participle sebagai Verb

Contoh:

I have paid the bill.

(Saya telah membayar tagihan tersebut.)

That room is cleaned everyday.

(Ruangan itu dibersihkan tiap hari.)

 Past Participle sebagai Verbal

Sebagai verbal, participle berfungsi sebagai kata sifat. Sebagai kata

sifat, verbal ini berfungsi menerangkan noun. Penggunaan past
participle sebagai adjective dapat dilihat pada noun phrase dan reduced

43
 adjective clause pada passive voice.
Misalnya pada kalimat:

1. The woman is bored by the situation.

2. The cat was spoiled by my mother.

dapat dibuat menjadi past participle:

1. The bored woman

2. The spoiled cat

Dengan demikian bored dan spoiled pada contoh paling akhir merupakan past
participle yang berfungsi menjelaskan woman dan cat (sebagai penerima
aksi).Selain itu, past participle juga digunakan pada reduced adjective
clause. Pada reduksi adjective clause, relative pronoun dan verb to be (jika
ada) dihapus.

Contoh:

Adjective clause Proses reduksi Redujed keterangan

adjective clause
The math problem The math The math solved
which has been problem which has problem solved by merupakan past
solved by him is been solved by him is him is difficult. participle yang didapat
difficult. difficult. melalui reduced
(Soal matematika adjective
yang telah clause dimana
dipecahkan tersebut berfungsi
sangat sulit.) menjelaskan math.

Passive voice
Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana subject
pada sentence (kalimat) atau clause (klausa) tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi
atau ditindaklanjuti (receiver of action) oleh agent lain (doer of action) baik disebutkan
ataupun tidak.

Rumus passive voice adalah sebagai berikut di bawah ini.

44
Catatan:

 Auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb be (is, are, am, was, were)
maupun kombinasi antara dua primary (is/are being, was/were being, has/have been)
maupun antara primary dan modal auxiliary verb (will be, will have been).
 Kombinasi auxiliary digunakan pada bentuk pasif pada tenses. Penjelasan lebih
lengkap dapat dilihat di Bentuk Pasif pada Tenses, Infinitive, dan Gerund.

Contoh:

Bentuk pasif pada tenses: The red velvet recipe is used by many people.

Infinitive: To be accompanied with him is a bad idea.

Gerund: Being accompanied with him is a bad idea

READING COMPREHENSION

VACCINES AND ANTISERUMS

There are two kinds of drugs prevent infectious disease. They are (1) vaccines and (2)
antiserums and globulin. And you know that some of these drugs, such as polio vaccines,
are especially valuable because there is no effective treatment for the disease they
prevent.

Vaccines contain a weakened or killed form of the microbe that causes a particular
disease. There are several kinds of vaccines. Each kind causes the body to produce
substances, which are called antibodies that fight particular disease. The vaccine thus
makes the body immune to the disease by providing resistance against attack by it.
Vaccines have been developed against such infectious disease as cholera, diphtheria,
hepatitis, measles, and smallpox, as well as polio. In fact, vaccinations against smallpox
have wiped out that disease.

Antiserums and globulins, like vaccines, prevent certain infectious diseases. But unlike
vaccines, these drugs contain antibodies rather than substances that cause the body to
produce antibodies. The antiserums and globulins act more quickly than vaccines to
prevent infection but give only temporary protection. Physicians prescribe these drugs
after a person who has been vaccinated is exposed to an infectious disease. Antiserums
are used against such diseases as diphtheria and tetanus. Examples of diseases against
which globulins protect include hepatitis, rabies, and tetanus.

READING COMPREHENSION

ANESTHETICS
People have always looked for ways to deal effectively with their health problems. And
people found that they could deal with their health problems by preventing, controlling, or
curing them. But in order to control or cure certain health problems, surgery was required.
However, before the I 800s, there were no drugs available that could effectively make a
person insensitive to pain. Thus, surgery that was done for hundreds of years was very
limited. Moreover, the surgery that was done during those years often resulted in the person
dying because his or her body systems would stop functioning due to the extreme pain
involved.

Through years, doctors realized the benefits of surgery for people with certain health
problems, provided a drug could be discovered that would make a person temporarily
insensitive to pain. In 1800 Sir Humphrey Davy, an English chemist, suggested that a gas
called nitrous oxide could cause a person to be temporarily insensitive to pain. But this
suggestion was not taken seriously until the middle 1 800s. At the same time, Horace Wells,
an American dentist, used nitrous oxide to painlessly pull down his own tooth.

Following the discovery that nitrous oxide could cause a temporary insensitivity to pain,
many other drugs were discovered that cause a similar effect on people. These drugs are now
called anesthetics.

Some anesthetics cause only a part of the body to become insensitive to pain. These kinds of
anesthetics are called local anesthetics. Such anesthetics are used quite often by dentists. Two
of these anesthetics are Novocain and Xylocaine. Other anesthetics cause the entire body to
become insensitive to pain. These are called general anesthetics. Such anesthetics are often
used during major surgery. Two of them are nitrous oxide and Sodium Pentothal.

Because anesthetics are an essential part of surgery, many physicians now specialize in
anesthesiology, or the branch of medical science dealing with anesthetics. These physicians

60
are called anesthesiologists, or anesthetists. Some nurses also specialize in anesthesiology
and are called nurse anesthetists.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
CONJUNCTION
Conjunction (konjungsi) adalah kata penghubung yang berfungsi untuk menghubungkan dua
kalimat atau lebih menjadi satu kalimat. Conjunction terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok utama
yaitu:

Coordinating Conjunction
Yaitu conjunction yang menghubungkan kalimat-kalimat yang sederajat. Artinya kalimat
yang satu tidak bergantung pada kalimat yang lainnya, dan masing-masing kalimat dapat
berdiri sendiri.Conjunction jenis ini terbagi lagi menjadi:
a. Cumulative/Addition (Menunjukkan Penambahan)
Conjunction yang sering digunakan adalah and, both…and, also, as well as, not only…but
also, dsb
Contoh:

1. You will go to Bali tomorrow, I will go to Bali tomorrow.

Maka kalimat seperti ini dapat digabungkan menjadi You and I will go to Bali
tomorrow.
2. He is both an actor and a director.
3. He is clever and you are also.

63
b. Alternative (Menunjukkan Pilihan)
Conjunction yang digunakan adalah either…or, neither…nor, or, else, otherwise

(Kamu boleh memakan salah satu apel yang berwarna merah ataupun yang
berwarna hijau).
2. You can eat neither the red apple nor the green one.
(Kamu tidak boleh memakan apel yang berwarna merah ataupun yang berwarna
hijau).
3. You or William is right.

c. Adversative/ Contrast (Menunjukkan Pertentangan)

Conjunction yang sering digunakan adalah but, still, yet, nevertheless, however, whereas,
while.
Contoh:

1. Mrs. Henry is generous but her husband isn’t.

2. He is very clever, nevertheless he often makes mistakes.
3. I’d like to go; however, I haven’t got time.

d. Cause Effect (Menunjukkan Sebab akibat)

1. My sister was ill, therefore, she couldn’t go to school yesterday

2. It’s time to go; so, let’s start
3. If you make mistake, then you must admit it.

Jenis kedua dari conjunction adalah subordinating conjunction

Subordinating Conjunction
Yaitu kata sambung yang menghubungkan antara anak kalimat dan induk kalimat,
dimana anak kalimat yang berkonjungsi memperjelas induk kalimat.
Contoh:

64
 1. He said that he could pick me up (he could pick me up memperjelas kata said)
2. Sean promised that he would tell me the truth (he would tell me the truth
memperjelas kata promised)
3. He could not pass the exam because he was lazy (because he was lazy
memperjelas could not pass the exam)

READING COMPREHENSION

COLD REMEDIES

Airborne spread of viruses appears to be the primary factor in catching a cold, not exposure
to cold weather, as is often assumed. Resistance, then, to be common cold depend upon
avoiding infected persons and maintaining a general state of health through adequate sleep,
good nutrition, and moderate exercise.

On of the difficulties with self-medication of the common cold is that what is identified as
cold may be a constellation of related respiratory infections. The common cold involves only
the upper respiratory tract, specially the nasal area. Infections extending beyond that are
secondary infections and should be watched closely, especially infections that involve the
throat. Many throat infections are, in fact, the result of bacteria. These types of infections
(particularly in small children) should be supervised by a physician. A throat infection caused
by a specific bacterial organism can lead to rheumatic hearth disease.

It is important to note that since the common cold is caused by viruses, normal antibiotic
therapy is in effective. Antibiotics are substances (for example, penicillin) that kill or inhibit
the growth of bacteria. Viruses, unlike bacteria, attach themselves to cells within the human
body and use metabolic processes of those cells to reproduce themselves. Because the virus
and the host cells function as a unit, any substance that kills the virus will probably kill the
host cell too. For this reason, vaccination is often used as a preventive for colds and
influenza. The difficulty in using vaccination against colds and influenza is that strains of
viruses are constantly changing and each virus requires its own specific vaccine.

There are some additional points to be made about the use of antibiotics. First, the antibiotic
may indeed be effective against a bacterial infection (not a virus); however, its action will
destroy not only pathogenic bacteria associated with disease, but also the normal intestinal
flora that aid in the manufacture of certain vitamins. Second, routine use of antibiotics may
cause the bacterial organism to develop mutant strains that are pathogenic and resistant to the

69
action of the antibiotics. For these reasons, antibiotic therapy should be used sparingly and
only under the supervision of a physician.

Antihistamines are commonly used in decongestants and various cold remedies. When the
body releases histamine during an allergic reaction or something similar, it causes edema
(swelling) and inflammation of the nasal passages. Hopefully, the use of antihistamines will
block the histamine being released into the tissues, thus preventing or at least relieving, the
symptoms.

Antihistamines may have side effects such as cough, vertigo (dizziness), drowsiness, or
impaired judgment. Those that produce drowsiness (methapyrilene and pyrilamine) are
contraindicated for persons who may be driving, operating equipment, or performing other
tasks that require alertness.

Aspirin is perhaps the best over-the-counter drug to be used when symptoms of a cold appear
and is often the major ingredient in cold remedies. It curbs fever and reduces swelling of the
nasal passages.

Recently, many cold medications have included vitamin C in the formula. There is no real
scientific evidence to support the claim that vitamin C has any alleviating, preventive, or
curative effect when used in cold remedies.

READING COMPREHENSION

How Drugs are Produced

79
Pharmaceutical firms are continually developing new drugs. Although company chemists
discover some new drugs by accident, the creation of most new products begins with an idea.
This idea may be for a new kind of drug or for one that works better than existing drugs. A
pharmaceutical company must then obtain such a drug, test it, and develop it into a safe,
easy-to-use form. The entire process takes on average about 14 years and costs many millions
of dollars. Creating a new drug is the task of a company’s research chemists. They may make
a new chemical compound or obtain the drug from a natural source.

In the process of creating a new drug, researchers perform tests with animal to see if the
substances are safe and effective. They first give the substances to small animal, such as rats,
mice, and guinea pigs. If the substances pass these tests, it is given to larger animals, such as
dogs and monkeys. They then try to find out how this drugs works, in what form it can be
given, how the animal body eliminates the drug, and what side effect it may have. The drug
company then sends this and other information about the drug to the U.S Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) - US government agency – and asks for permission to conduct test on
the people.

After receiving FDA approval a drug company performs two series of clinical tests with the
new drug. The company first tests the drug for safety in healthy human volunteers. If the
results of the tests are satisfactory, the company checks the drug further in patients who have
the disorder the drugs is designed to correct. The number of patients who get the drug and
length of the tests depend on the disorder and the drug being tested. Most tests involved
hundreds of patients and last from several months to years.

Careful testing is one of pharmaceutical company’s most important responsibilities. But even
the most careful testing cannot always reveal the possibility that a drug might produce an
unexpected harmful effect. A tragic example of such an unexpected effect occurred in Europe
during the early 1960’s. Thousand of pregnant women who took a new sedative, thalidomide,
gave birth to babies with no arms or legs or with some other deformities.

Before selling a new drug, a company must develop it into a safe, easy to-use form.
Researchers determine what ingredients to add to the drug to make it into a capsule, liquid,
tablet or other usable form. These ingredients, excipients, must not interfere with the drug’s
action. Researchers also determine how fast the drug will break down chemically and lose its
effectiveness. The company can include this information on the label if the break down

80
occurs quickly. After all these steps, the company is ready to plan mass production of the
drug. (Adapted from English For Pharmacy, Toharudin, 2002)

READING COMPREHENSION

SEDATIVES AND COUGH REMEDIES

Sedatives
The chemical action of sedatives causes drowsiness, reduces anxiety, and may relax muscles
and generally produce a state of quiescence. One of the most commonly used sedatives in
America is ethyl alcohol. It is often used in sleep-producing preparations and in cough
remedies.

Salicylamide is highly recommended as a mild sedative. The risks associated with the use of
this drug have previously been discussed (all drugs involve a risk) and, that in mind, it is still
recommended as a better choice of sedatives. It is inexpensive and allows one to go to sleep.
Since the drug is a mild analgesic, it tends to alleviate minor aches and pains that may be
interfering with sleep and it helps one to relax. Hopefully, the reader will not interpret this
discussion to mean that one can safely resort to the use of salicylamide on a habitual pattern.
Using drugs as a way to relax or find sleep can lead to dependency on the drug to achieve
those states, as well as mask the basic problems that lead to tension. Occasional use may be
recommended, but prolonged self-medication with sedatives are not advised. The reason one
resorts to using a sedative is to reduce the accumulated effects of tension.

Cough Remedies

In order to understand the actions of an anti-cough medication, it is helpful to have a basic

understanding of cough reflex. Essentially, the coughing response is one of the body’s
fundamental ways of protecting and clearing the breathing passage. Cough remedies are
designed either to soothe the pathway or sedate the cough center of the brain. Basically, these
drugs are of two types: the depressants and the expectorants.

The depressant types have a narcotic effect on the brain and thereby tend to suppress a cough
response. They seem to have a tendency to dry the respiratory tract, and should probably be

94
used with caution by persons suffering from bronchial asthma or pulmonary emphysema.
Those that contain codeine have a depressing physiological effect similar to morphine,
however, codeine is much weaker and therefore safer to use. Presently, codeine is available
only by prescription.

It is imperative to understand that if codeine is used in a rational manner, not tolerance or

physical dependence will develop; however when it is used in doses larger than required,
tolerance or physical and even physiological dependence may develop. Also, as the dosage is
increased, the more pronounced the side effects become. This is important to know for those
people who tend to exceed the required dose in their attempt to enhance the effectiveness of
this over-the-counter preparation.

A number of cough suppressant do not contain narcotic agents. Noscapine does not have a
drying effect on the respiratory tract. It has also been shown to be an effective suppressant
since it decreases the cough spasm. Recently, dextromethorphan has become a very popular
cough suppressant appears suitable for prolonged therapy as well as for children. Cough
medications containing noscapine and dextromethorphan are now considered the drugs of
choice. Some examples would be Robitussin DM and Cheracol DM, which replaced codeine.

READING COMPREHENSION

THE NUTRIENT NEEDS OF PREGNANCY

It can be said with reasonable certainly that the successful outcome of pregnancy is
dependent on the good nutritional status of the mother at the time of conception as well as the
continued good dietary practices during pregnancy regardless of age. It is also dependent on
the total health experiences of both parents and involves their education, economic
backgrounds, and socio-cultural experiences. Attitudes toward prenatal care are often passed
from generation to generation. Current health teaching is toward early on going prenatal care
with provision for health and nutrition teaching during pregnancy and through the postnatal
period.

The complex physiologic changes which take place involve altered dietary needs based on
sound nutritional practices. The fetus is dependent on the mother’s circulation for its
nutrients.

There is a need for additional energy taking into account age, height, prepregnant weight, and
activity (which is especially decreased towards the end of pregnancy). The Recommended
Dietary Allowances of the National Academy of Science recommends an additional 300
calories/day (over non pregnant needs) during the entire pregnancy. This amount will also
insure adequate utilization of good quality protein currently recommended at an additional 30
grams/day. Examples of 30 grams of protein and 300 calories: 4 ounces lean meat, fish, or
poultry or 4 cups low fat milk or ounces lean meat and 2 cups low fat milk.

Although there is some controversy over the recommendation of other nutrient supplements,
most authorities agree on routine supplementation of iron and frolic acid only. The increased
requirements of other nutrients can easily be met through appropriate dietary choices, i.e.,
one quart of vitamin D fortified milk meets the increased calcium allowance. (Adapted from
Community Health Nursing: Keeping The Public Healthy, Jarvis Linda, 1983)

LANGUAGE FOCUS
ADJECTIVE PHRASE
Adjective phrase adalah kelompok kata yang terdiri dari adjective (sebagai head) dan
modifier, determiner, dan/atau qualifier/intensifier. Sama seperti simple adjective, adjective
phrase berfungsi menerangkan noun. Posisinya mungkin sebelum/setelah noun (sebagai
attributive untuk membentuk noun phrase) atau setelah linking verb (sebagai predicative).
Contoh Adjective:
attributive I like dark chocolate.
predicative Tommy is diligent.

Contoh Adjective Phrase:

attributive I like very dark chocolate.

predicative Tommy is extremely diligent.

104
“Very dark” merupakan adjective phrase, sedangkan “very dark chocolate” merupakan noun
phrase. Untuk membedakannya, kita perlu fokus pada head-nya. Head pada adjective phrase
ialah “dark”, sedangkan noun phrase ialah “chocolate”.
Dalam membentuk adjective phrase, adjective mungkin dikombinasikan dengan modifier,
determiner, dan/atau intensifier.

Modifier
Modifier merupakan kata, phrase, atau clause yang berfungsi sebagai adjective atau adverb.
Modifier mungkin berada sebelum adjective (premodifier) atau setelah adjective (post
modifier). Dalam kasus adjective phrase, umumnya premodifier yang digunakan berupa
simple adjective atau adverb (hanya terdiri dari satu kata), sedangkan post modifier dapat
berupa infinitive atau prepositional phrase.
Contoh (adjective phrase = italic; modifier = underline):
young married couples, certain to happen, afraid of the dark, angry with you

Determiner
Determiner yang umum digunakan untuk menerangkan adjective adalah article, baik definite
(the) maupun indefinite articles (a, an); quantifier (many, few, little, some, etc);
distributive (all, every, both, etc), demonstrative adjective (this, that, these, those); dan/atau
possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, etc).
Contoh (adjective phrase = italic; determiner = underline):
the beautiful house, many young men, all poor countries, this delicious cake, our sweet
moments.

Intensifier
Intensifier merupakan adverb yang dapat berfungsi menekankan (emphasize), menguatkan
(amplify), atau merendahkan (downtone) adjective.
Contoh Adjective Phrase (intensifier = underline):
partially complete, rather unfaithful, very smart

Modifier, determiner, dan intensifier mungkin dapat digunakan secara bersama-sama. Urutan
penggunaannya, dapat dilihat di Noun Phrase.

Prepositional Phrase sebagai Adjective Phrase

105
Jika adjective phrase diterjemahkan dengan pengertian yang lebih luas, yaitu semua phrase
yang menerangkan noun, prepositional phrase yang diletakkan setelah noun dapat menjadi
salah satunya.
Contoh Adjective Phrase:
 She is a student from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (menerangkan noun
“student”)
 The woman with a leather handbag is looking at you. (menerangkan noun ”woman”)

Adverbial Phrase
Adverb phrase adalah kelompok kata yang terdiri dari adverb dengan qualifier (too, very, so,
enough, etc) atau kelompok kata seperti: prepositional phrase atau infinitive phrase yang
dapat berfungsi seperti adverb.
 Single adverb: yesterday, quickly, there
 Adverb phrase: to go to school, very quickly, at home
Seperti halnya adverb (kata keterangan), suatu adverb phrase juga dapat menerangkan verb,
adjective, maupun kata keterangan lain serta juga dapat menempati berbagai posisi di dalam
suatu kalimat. Oleh karena itu, mungkin dapat sedikit membingungkan untuk mendeteksi
suatu adverbphrase dibandingkan dengan bentuk tunggalnya di dalam suatu kalimat.

Macam dan Contoh Adverb Phrase

Ada bermacam-macam kata keterangan. Beberapa yang paling penting ada lima,
yaitu: adverbs of time (waktu), manner (cara), place (tempat), frequency (frekuensi), dan
purpose (tujuan). Karena berakting sebagai kata keterangan, Adverb phrase dapat menempati
posisi-posisi tersebut. Adapun macam dan contoh adverb phrase berdasarkan pembentuknya
adalah sebagai berikut.

Adverb dengan Qualifier

Adverb phrase yang merupakan gabungan antara kata keterangan dengan qualifier dapat
menempati fungsi adverb of manner. Contohnya adalah sebagai berikut.

Adverb of Adverb
Qualifier Contoh Kalimat
Manner Phrase
slowly extremely extremely He drives extremely slowly.

106
 slowly (Dia mengemudi dengan sangat lambat.)
Every waitress should clean tables quickly enough.
quickly
quickly enough (Setiap pelayan harus membersihkan meja-meja
enough
dengan cukup cepat.)

Prepositional Phrase
Prepositional phrase dapat menggantikan lima macam kata keterangan terpenting di
atas. Beberapa contoh adverb phrase dari prepositional phrase adalah sebagai berikut.

Adverb Adverb Phrase Contoh Kalimat

They couldn’t do anything during the storm.
since yesterday, during the
time (Mereka tidak dapat melakukan apapun selama
storm, before noon
badai.)
The customer always pays the bill with his
debit card.
manner with his debit card, by bus
(Pelanggan tersebut selalu membayar tagihan
dengan kartu debitnya.)
at home, in the classroom, to I’m on a flight to Bandung.
place
Bandung (Saya sedang dalam penerbangan ke Bandung.)
Old people may need to see a doctor every
year.
frequency every year
(Orang-orang tua mungkin perlu mengunjungi
dokter setiap tahun.)
He bought this tiramisu cake for you.
purpose for you
(Dia membeli kue tiramisu ini untukmu.)

Infinitive Phrase
Kebanyakan adverb phrase yang dibentuk dari infinitive form digunakan untuk menempati
peran adverbs of purpose. Beberapa contoh adverb phrase dari infinitive form adalah sebagai
berikut.
Adverb Phrase Contoh Kalimat

107
 He does physical exercises regularly to gain his muscle mass.
to gain his muscle
(Dia melakukan latihan-latihan fisik secara teratur untuk meningkatkan
mass
massa ototnya.)
To get the accesss, you must register first.
to get the access
(Untuk mendapat akses, kamu harus mendaftar dulu.)

Prepositional phrasesatau frasa preposisi adalah frasa yang terdiri dari preposisi dan objek
preposisi (object of the preposition). Objek preposisi dalam frasa preposisi dapat berupa
noun, pronoun, atau noun phrases.
Contoh frasa preposisi:
- on the internet
- in the room
- by the ocean
- near the window
Pada kenyataannya dalam suatu kalimat, frasa preposisi bisa memiliki jumlah kata yang lebih
banyak, tergantung panjang objek preposisi atau jumlah kata yang menyertai preposisi dalam
menyampaikan maksud suatu kalimat. Contohnya:
- near the violently swaying oak trees
- on account of his nearly depleted bank account
Dalam kalimat, frasa preposisi tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai frasa preposisi sendiri, tapi juga
dapat berfungsi sebagai adjektiva dan adverbia. Frasa preposisi yang berperan sebagai
adjektiva disebut frasa adjektiva. Seperti halnya adjektiva, frasa adjektiva juga berfungsi
menerangkan noun atau pronoun. Untuk mengetahui suatu frasa preposisi itu berfungsi
sebagai frasa adjektiva, ajukan pertanyaan seperti “Which one?” atau “What kind?” untuk
mengenali dalam suatu kalimat.
Contoh frasa preposisi sebagai frasa adjektiva:
- The [cost of the jeans] was surprisingly high.
- The [clown with the mask] terrifies the children.
- The [man in the house] rented it.
Frasa preposisi yang berperan sebagai adverbia disebut frasa adverbia. Sama halnya dengan
adverbia, frasa adverbia juga berfungsi menerangkan verb, adjective, atau adverb. Untuk
mengetahui suatu frasa preposisi berfungsi sebagai frasa adverbia, dapat diajukan pertanyaan

108
seperti “Where?” “When?” “In what manner” “To what extent?” untuk mengenalinya
dalam suatu kalimat.
Contoh frasa preposisi sebagai frasa adverbia:
- The Mets [played at Shea Stadium.]
- The game [lasted into the fourteenth inning.]
- He [went in the arena.]
- Dad was [happy about the goal.]
- On reflection, I believe that she was correct.
Dua atau lebih frasa preposisi dapat digabungkan dengan menggunakan coordinating
conjunctions. Contohnya:
- The resort is [beside the mountain and by the lake.]
- You can usually find Macho Marvin [in the steam room, on the exercise bike, or under
the barbells.]

Participle Phrase
Participle phrase (participial phrase) ialah frasa yang terdiri dari participle beserta
complement atau modifier-nya.
Contoh :
Following the instructions carefully, the trainees complitid the project successfully.
 The instructions sebagai objek dan carefully sebagai adverb yang menerangkan
following(participle).

1. Participle bersama objek

Contoh:
Finding the problems resolved, he promised us a reward happily.
 The problem adalah objek dari finding

2. Participle being bersama complement

Contoh :
Being lazy, he does not earn enough to support his family.
 Lazy (adjective) sebagai complement dari being.

3. Participle yang diterangkan adverb maupun adverb phrase.

Contoh :

109
Studying hard, Robert passed the final exam.
 Hard (adverb) menerangkan studying.

4. Participle yang merupakan peringkasan adverb clause

a. Adverb clause of time (menerangkan waktu)
• Berarti “setelah” (after)
Contoh:
Having finished all her housework, she sat down to watch television.
(After she had finished all her housework, she sat down to watch television)
• Berarti “sambil” (while atau when)
Contoh :
Listening to the radio, andrea usually studies at night.
b. Adverb clause of cause (menerangkan sebab)
Contoh :
Having worked hard all his life, he decided to take a long vacation.
( Because he had worked hard all his life, he decided to take a long vacation.)

adjusted to be more appealing to the patient without altering the therapeutic effect.

Patients who have been NPO as part of the treatment for their illness or injury or following
surgery may be started on a special diet that progresses from clear liquids to a general or full
diet as they increase their tolerance to the foods. It is most often prescribed following major

or cases of acute infections.

A clear liquid diet. It is ordered when there is decreased tolerance foods or impaired function
of the digestive tract. The diet allows water, tea, coffee, clear broths, ginger ale, apple juice,

COMPOUND SENTENCE

Compound Sentence (Kalimat Majemuk) adalah kalimat yang memiliki 2 kata kerja utama
atau lebih yang menggabungkan 2 gagasan atau lebih yang disambungkan dengan kata
sambung (conjunctions). Atau dengan kata lain Compound Sentence adalah kalimat yang
terdiri dari 2 Independent Clauses yang dihubungkan dengan kata sambung (for, and, nor,
but, or, yet, so).
Examples of Compound Sentence:
1. I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to speak English.
2. John played football, so Mary went shopping.

Conjunction dan Punctuation pada Compound Sentence

Untuk menghubungkan dua atau lebih independent clause di dalam compound sentence,
dapat digunakan coordinate conjunction, conjunctive adverb, atau semicolon (titik koma)
saja. Walaupun dihubungkan oleh conjunction atau semicolon, masing-masing independent
clause tersebut sesungguhnya dapat berdiri sendiri.

Coordinate Conjunction

Coordinate conjunction yang dapat digunakan yaitu: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
(FANBOYS). Tanda baca koma digunakan tepat sebelum kata hubung ini.

Contoh Compound Sentence dengan Coordinate Conjunction:

119
  He didn’t come last night, for he fell asleep. (Dia tidak datang semalam karena dia
terlelap.)
 Vina and Amel wake up at 5:00 am, and they go to school at 6:30 am. (Vina dan Amel
bangun jam 5 dan mereka pergi ke sekolah jam setengah 7.)
 Please reconsider, so you will not regret oneday. (Tolong pertimbangan kembali
sehingga kamu tidak menyesalinya suatu hari nanti.)

Karena masing-masing klausa tersebut dapat berdiri sendiri, kadang-kadang coordinate

conjunction tidak mampu menunjukkan hubungan yang cukup spesifik/logis, khususnya
conjunction “and”.

Conjunctive Adverb

Conjunctive adverb atau adverbial conjunction merupakan kata yang berfungsi baik sebagai
adverb maupun conjunction. Tanda baca semicolon (titik koma) dan koma biasa digunakan
bersama conjunction ini. Conjunctive adverb antara lain: furthermore, however, otherwise,
therefore, dan finally.

Contoh Compound Sentence dengan Conjunctive Adverb:

 Both gold and green kiwifruits are widely cultivated in New Zealand; furthermore,
they’re distributed to our country. (Baik kiwi gold maupun hijau dibudidaya secara
luas di New Zealand. Tambahan pula, mereka didistribusikan ke negara kita.)
 Natural resources of Indonesia spread from Sabang to marauke; however, they’re not
utilized properly. (Sumber daya alam Indonesia tersebar dari Sabang sampai Marauke.
Akan tetapi, mereka tidak digunakan dengan benar.)
 Yulia drinks fresh milk and does exercise regularly; therefore, her bones is dense and
strong. (Yulia minum susu segar dan berolahraga teratur. Oleh karena itu, tulangnya
padat dan kuat.)

Semicolon (Titik Koma)

Adapun semicolon sendiri dapat digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua independent

clause yang sangat berhubungan menjadi satu kalimat.

Contoh Compound Sentence dengan Semicolon:

120
  It’s mine; it’s not yours. (Itu milikku. Itu bukan milikmu.)
 Diana looked panic; she’s afraid she run out of words to say to interviewers. (Diana
tampak panik. Dia takut kehabisan kata-kata untuk disampaikan kepada
pewawancara.)

READING COMPREHENSION

NUTRITIONAL NEEDS

As everyone knows, food is basic need of the body and it must be supplied at frequent
intervals to maintain life and the functioning of the body. The nutrients supplied by food are
essential to () promote growth, (2) provide energy for all of the body’s functions, and (3)
replace or repair tissue through the healing process.

When sick people have a decreased appetite and fail to meet their nutritional needs, energy
needed for the body functioning is obtained from the body itself. The extra glucose stored in
the liver and the muscles in the first source that is used; this supply is used up in 12 to 48
hours, depending on the body requirements. If the supply of nutrients is inadequate for more
than one or two days and the stored glucose has been used, the body begins to break down
deposits of fatty tissue and the proteins in muscles tissue. This leads to weight loss, higher
acetone or ketene levels in the urine, delayed healing of wounds, and a greater susceptibility
to infections.

Malnutrition is not difficult to see in the estimated 5 to 10 percent of patients in acute

medical-surgical units who are emaciated and appear to be only skin and bones after losing
much of their body weight. Malnutrition begins long before the extreme weight loss of
starvation, however. Even the patient who appears to be well nourished may not be meeting
nutritional needs, and this condition is frequently not recognized by members of the health
team for a variety of reasons:

 The doctors have written an order specifying the diet patients is the receipt.
 The charge nurse or team leader is attending to patient complaints of other problems
or needs that are deemed to be more pressing or more serious.
 The nurse or nursing assistant talking care of the patients commonly lose their
appetite and send their trays back without eating the food, stating “I’m not hungry.”

READING COMPREHENSION

HOW TO USE A PRESCRIPTION DRUG SAFETY

Basic fact you should know

Whenever your doctor prescribes a medication, you need to know:
1. The name(s) of the drug. Many drugs go by several names. For instance, the antibiotic
known by the generic name tetracycline is also sold under the brand names Achromycin
(made by Lederle) and Sumycin (made by Squibb).
2. The reason you are taking the drug. This is especially important with a “silent” disease
such as high blood pressure, which people often do not realize they have. At first, the
medication for this problem may make patients feel worse, and unless why they know
are taking the drug, they may stop using it.
3. How you should take the drug. Drugs can come in pills, liquids, or other forms. They can
be swallowed, injected, inhaled, or taken via some other route of administration. Many
drugs need to be taken with water to dissolve them or dilute their strength. Aspirin may
be taken with milk to avoid stomach upset. On the other hand, tetracycline, a commonly
prescribed antibiotic, should not be taken with milk or milk products.
4. The strength of the dose the physician has prescribed.
5. The frequency of administration that the physician recommends. If you take the correct
dosage ____ but take it too often or not often enough ____ you may suffer an unpleasant
reaction or a prolongation of your disease. Instructions to “take three times a day,” for
instance.
6. Does taking the drug require any change in your diet or activities? A number of drugs are
dangerous if you drink alcohol while you are taking them. Certain other drugs may cause
drowsiness or interfere with your coordination: if you are taking any of these you should
avoid driving, working with dangerous machinery, or other hazardous activities.

130
7. What side effects can you expect? All drugs can cause side effects, ranging from trivial
to serious. You should know whether to expect serious adverse effects ____ and how
these effects can be treated.

To make sure that you know these essentials, you should review them with your
doctor when he or she gives you the prescription. Then you should be sure the pharmacist
includes the relevant information on the label he or she prepares for you.

The prescription form

A prescription is an authorization that a physician prepares so that a patient may buy a
certain drug from a licensed pharmacist. To be legal, a prescription must be written on a
special prescription form in ink or indelible pencil. The typical prescription form contains the
following elements: the heading, superscription, inscription, subscription, signature, doctor’s
