A major difference between aspirin and other cyclooxygenase inhibitors is that it:
 
  1. may produce gastric bleeding.
  2. irreversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase.
  3. affects clotting.
  4. can damage the kidneys.

Question 2

  1. is not as good an antipyretic as acetaminophen.
  2. may increase fever in children under the age of 10.
  3. may produce nausea and vomiting.
  4. increases the risk of Reye's syndrome.
