Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing an in-service on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Which of the following medications is a first-generation NSAID that inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ibuprofen (Motrin). Ibuprofen is a first-generation NSAID that inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, leading to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Celecoxib (
A) is a second-generation NSAID that selectively inhibits COX-2. Morphine sulfate (
B) is an opioid analgesic, not an NSAID. Metformin (
C) is an antidiabetic medication, not an NSAID. In summary, Ibuprofen is the correct choice as it matches the criteria of being a first-generation NSAID that inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, unlike the other options.
