Question 1 of 5
A patient has fallen and injured her knee. It is not fractured,but there is considerable swelling and pain. She asks which over-the-counter analgesic would be best to take for her discomfort. The nurse tells her that one with NSAID properties would be best. Which would it be best to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is an NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) that helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling. It is effective for managing musculoskeletal injuries like knee pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Oxymorphone (
A) is an opioid analgesic and not an NSAID, so it may not be the best choice for this type of pain. Acetaminophen (
C) is not an NSAID and primarily works as a pain reliever, but does not have anti-inflammatory properties like ibuprofen. Aspirin (
D) is an NSAID like ibuprofen, but it is not recommended for acute injuries as it can increase the risk of bleeding. E, F, G are not applicable. Ibuprofen is the best choice for this patient due to its anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce the swelling and pain in her knee.
