1. Which of the following is the primary action of nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)?
A. Inhibit the synthesis of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes
B. Inhibit the synthesis of leukotrienes
C. Stimulate the release of prostaglandins
D. Block the action of histamine
✔ Correct Answer: A
Rationale: NSAIDs primarily inhibit the cyclooxygenase (COX)
enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, which are involved in the production of
prostaglandins responsible for inflammation and pain.
2. Which of the following is a common side effect of long-term
corticosteroid use for inflammation?
A. Hypotension
B. Weight loss
C. Osteoporosis
D. Hypoglycemia
✔ Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Long-term use of corticosteroids can lead to osteoporosis
due to their effects on calcium metabolism and bone density.
3. Which of the following is the mechanism of action of
corticosteroids in the treatment of inflammation?
A. Inhibit histamine release from mast cells
3
, B. Inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines
C. Increase the synthesis of prostaglandins
D. Stimulate immune system activity
✔ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Corticosteroids suppress inflammation by inhibiting the
production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in the
inflammatory response.
4. Which of the following drugs is commonly used to treat acute
inflammation associated with gout?
A. Allopurinol
B. Colchicine
C. Methotrexate
D. Celecoxib
✔ Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Colchicine is used to treat acute gout attacks by reducing
the inflammatory response to urate crystals in the ʝoints.
5. A patient is prescribed prednisone for an inflammatory condition.
Which of the following is an important patient education point?
A. Take the medication with food to minimize gastrointestinal irritation
B. Stop the medication abruptly once symptoms improve
C. Take the medication in the evening for best results
D. Avoid any form of physical activity during treatment
✔ Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prednisone should be taken with food to minimize
gastrointestinal irritation, and it is important to taper the medication
rather than stopping abruptly to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
