Question 1 of 5
What drug might the nurse administer to achieve both analgesic and antitussive effects?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Codeine. Codeine is an opioid analgesic that acts on the central nervous system to relieve pain and suppress coughing. It has both analgesic and antitussive properties, making it the ideal choice for achieving both effects. Acetaminophen (choice
A) and ibuprofen (choice
B) are analgesics but do not have antitussive effects. Aspirin (choice
C) is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug but is not commonly used for cough suppression.
Therefore, codeine is the most appropriate option for achieving both analgesic and antitussive effects.
