Question 1 of 5
The client has been prescribed aspirin by the healthcare provider. However, the client is not sure about the uses of aspirin. Which of the following is an indication of aspirin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reduces fever and relieves mild to moderate pain. Aspirin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAI
D) commonly used for its analgesic (pain-relief) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for inflammation, pain, and fever.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Aspirin does not lower blood pressure, treat bacterial infections, or cure viral infections. The primary indication of aspirin is its ability to reduce pain and fever, making option A the correct choice.
