Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Acetaminophen, unlike ibuprofen, does not have anti-inflammatory effects. However, both acetaminophen and ibuprofen have analgesic and antipyretic effects.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects. These medications do not have sedating or anesthetic effects in most clients, although some clients might report being able to fall asleep more easily once pain is reduced.
