Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ketorolac is the first injectable NSAID and has shown analgesic efficacy equal or superior to that of opioid analgesics. The other NSAIDs listed are not used for postoperative pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
OTC NSAIDs can be effective for mild to moderate arthritis pain, but the effects may not appear for several weeks. NSAIDs carry a risk for bleeding. Ibuprofen is taken every 4 hours or QID. Ibuprofen should not be combined with aspirin or acetaminophen.
