Answer to Question 1

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are generally well-tolerated; however, in a small percentage of patients, adverse GI events can occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E, F
Physiologic effects of pain include decreased thoracic movement; the normal sigh (yawn) is abol-ished, and there is increased splinting, reduced lung compliance, lung volumes, and lung capaci-ties, which may lead to atelectasis.
