Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The client should take the drug with food and milk to promote an optimal response to NSAID therapy; this helps minimize the risk of GI effects. The client does not need to take an NSAID with fiber-rich food or with calcium supplements. He should not take it on an empty stomach.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Age appears to increase the possibility of adverse reactions to NSAIDs. The risk of serious ulcer disease in adults older than 65 years is increased with higher doses of NSAIDs. CNS disorders, hearing impairment, and blindness are not effects associated with using NSAIDs on a long-term basis in older clients.
