Feedback:
NSAIDs are generally effective for pain-related tissue damage. The analgesic action of these drugs has antiprostaglandin effects in both the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Ans: B, C, D, E

The nurse can administer the opioid medicine through the oral, rectal, transdermal, or parenteral route. It is possible to give some opioids by the intramuscular route, but this is less common than other parenteral routes. Opioids are not normally given by the sublingual route.
