ANS: B
Naproxen is COX-1 selective, and the risk of MI and stroke appear lower with this drug than with other NSAIDs. Celecoxib is a COX-2 inhibitor and has increased risks of cardiovascular effects. Cardiovascular risks appear to be increased with diclofenac. Ketorolac carries the same risk as other NSAIDs, even with intranasal dosing.
