Answer to Question 1

2
Persons at greatest risk for adverse reactions to NSAIDs include those who are prescribed warfarin (Coumadin) since the NSAID can increase the effects of the Coumadin and promote bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

4
Malignant hyperthermia is a medical emergency. The anesthetic agent should be stopped immediately and the client should be hyperventilated with 100 oxygen. The surgery should be stopped if it is an elective case. Dantrolene should be provided.
