All nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) have an FDA Black Box Warning regarding:
 
  1. Potential for causing life-threatening GI bleeds
  2. Increased risk of developing systemic arthritis with prolonged use
  3. Risk of life-threatening rashes, including Stevens-Johnson
  4. Potential for transient changes in serum glucose

Question 2

Henry is 82 years old and takes two aspirin every morning to treat the arthritis pain in his back. He states the aspirin helps him to get going each day. Lately he has had some heartburn from the aspirin.
 
  After ruling out an acute GI bleed, what would be an appropriate course of treatment for Henry?
  1. Add an H2 blocker such as ranitidine to his therapy.
  2. Discontinue the aspirin and switch him to Vicodin for the pain.
  3. Decrease the aspirin dose to one tablet daily.
  4. Have Henry take an antacid 15 minutes before taking the aspirin each day.
