Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
If temperature elevation is prolonged while on NSAID therapy, hot, dry, flushed skin and a decrease in urinary output may develop; consequently, dehydration can occur. Prolonged immobility, reduced intake of fibrous food, and intake of food with antacids do not cause a decrease in urinary output.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the patient that taking an NSAID while on antihypertensive drug therapy decreases the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs. Interactions of NSAIDs and antihypertensive drugs do not include increased metabolism of antihypertensive drugs, increased absorption of antihypertensive drugs, or decreased metabolism of NSAIDs.
