Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking naproxen following an exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following statements by the client requires further discussion by the nurse?

Choice B is incorrect as it is common to take antacids with NSAIDs to prevent stomach irritation.
Choice C indicates weight loss, which may be unrelated but warrants further assessment.
