Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing an in-service about nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to the unit. Which of the following is considered a second-generation NSAID?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B, Celecoxib, because it is a selective COX-2 inhibitor, making it a second-generation NSAID. Celecoxib specifically targets the COX-2 enzyme, reducing inflammation without affecting COX-1, which helps protect the stomach lining. Cetirizine (
A) is an antihistamine, not an NSAID. Diphenhydramine (
C) is also an antihistamine. Aspirin (
D) is a first-generation NSAID that inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
