A patient recently fell while she was out jogging and has severely sprained her left ankle. In determining how much medication she should take to reduce her symptoms, the nurse should tell her that:
 
  1. high doses of NSAIDs may be necessary to get the antiinflammatory response.
  2. she should take the medications only when needed to avoid developing drug de-pendency.
  3. oral forms of NSAIDs are not very helpful, and she should have the injectable forms for good response.
  4. NSAIDs should be taken on an empty stomach to enhance absorption.
