A 6-year-old boy presents to the emergency department
with an altered mental status. He is hyperventilating, has a rash on his
hands, and a high fever. His mother has been giving him an antipyretic
for his fever for the past 2 days. The patient's liver enzymes are elevated.
His mental status continues to decline. What is the mechanism of action
of the most likely medication given to this child by his mother?
A+ TEST BANK 1
,(A) Inhibits phospholipase A2
(B) Irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenases 1 and 2
(C) Reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenases 1 and 2
(D) Reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase 2
(E) Reversibly inhibits H1 histamine receptors
- Correct Answer :(B) Irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenases 1 and 2
A 34-year-old man with exercised-induced asthma is searching for a
bronchodilator that will allow him to

erythematous, edematous, and tender. The diagnosis of gout is made
after negatively birefringent crystals are seen from joint aspirate. The
patient is given colchicine. What is the mechanism of action of
colchicine?
(A) Inhibits microtubule polymerization
(B) Inhibits reabsorption of uric acid
(C) Inhibits xanthine oxidase
(D) Irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase
(E) Reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase
- Correct Answer :(A) Inhibits microtubule polymerization
