inflammation.
NSAIDs (Therapeutic class) - correct answer Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic, Analgesic
NSAIDs (examples) - correct answer ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) indomethacin (Indocin)
ketorolac (Toradol) naproxen (Naprosyn) piroxicam (Feldene) celecoxib (Celebrex)

anxiety and sedate
Morphone (actions) - correct answer Actions on organs:
CNS: drowsiness, euphoria, sedation, mental clouding
Eye: pupil constriction (pinpoint pupil) (miosis)
Resp: depressed rate/depth of respirations and aggravation of asthma: suppress
cough reflex (codeine)
GIT = ↓peristalsis in stomach & intestines; gastric, ↓pancreas/bile secretions;
gallbladder spasm (morphine) GUT = bladder contraction/spasm (urinary retention)
Skin: itching and rash
Morphone (adverse reactions) - correct answer Adverse reactions:
Physical dependence
Possible withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuing.
Opioid tolerance
,Need to address the patient's pain because it takes priority over concerns about drug
addiction or physical dependence.
Symptoms of opioid withdrawal - correct answer Early signs
Yawning, perspiring, tearing, nasal drainage
Followed by:
Gooseflesh (goosebumps) • Abdominal cramps • Bone and muscle pain (rebound pain) •
N/V, diarrhea • Mydriasis (pupil dilation) • Intense craving for drug • Agitation • Elevated
BP, tachycardia • Seizures
Morphone (precautions) - correct answer Use cautiously in individuals with head
injury, morbid obesity, and sleep apnea.
Precautions: Elderly: extreme confusion and hallucinations; smaller doses than
younger adult Undiagnosed abdominal pain Liver disease
Home use: Drug may cause drowsiness, dizziness • Caution with driving • Avoid alcohol
• Take med as directed • Explain how-to put-on patch
, Patient education on PCA machine: - correct answer Location of buttons • Regulation
of dose and time interval • Assure machine will not deliver dose until correct time •
Pain relief should occur shortly after pushing button • Inform nurse if pain not relieved
after two doses
Sulfonamides (oral) (action) - correct answer primarily bacteriostatic and work by
inhibiting bacterial cell metabolism by inhibiting folic acid metabolism
Once the bacterial growth is slowed, the body's defense mechanisms can take over
and get rid the body of the infection
Sulfonamides (oral) (uses) - correct answer Uses:
well absorbed in the GI tract and the kidneys
UTI, e.g.: E. coli, Staph. aureus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter sp
Infections with 2nd and 3rd degree burns
management of ulcerative colitis
Tetracycline (action) - correct answer inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
