Title: When instructing a group of senior citizens on the actions and adverse effects of aspirin compared t Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015 When instructing a group of senior citizens on the actions and adverse effects of aspirin compared to ibuprofen-like drugs, the nurse is asked why the doctor prescribed a low dose of daily aspirin rather than ibuprofen to prevent heart problems. What is the nurse’s best response?
1. “Talk to your doctor, because both medications can cause heart disease.” 2. “Ibuprofen and ibuprofen-like medications are not indicated to treat or prevent cardiovascular problems.” 3. “Either medication is helpful for the prevention of heart attacks.” 4. “Ibuprofen is better for you, even though you might be a candidate for heart attacks.” Title: Re: When instructing a group of senior citizens on the actions and adverse effects of aspirin compar Post by: ngin on Feb 12, 2015 Content hidden
