Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Diflunisal is used for relieving mild to moderate pain. Unlike other salicylates, diflunisal is not used as an antipyretic (reducing body temperature). It does not reduce the risk of transient ischemic attacks or decrease the risk of myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Flushing is one of the symptoms of salicylism that the nurse should monitor for. Tachycardia, not bradycardia, is a symptom of salicylism. Sleeplessness and constipation are not symptoms of salicylism.
