Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
GI upset is a classic side effect of the NSAIDs; therefore the medication should be taken with meals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
NSAIDs assist with pain and inflammation. Postoperative and incisional pain should be treated with narcotics. The NSAIDs should not be used with the client who is exhibiting gastrointestinal discomfort and bleeding.
