ANS: B
Sulfasalazine reduces the inflammation. This statement indicates understanding.
Although similar to sulfonamides, sulfasalazine is not used to treat infections; further teaching is needed.
Sulfasalazine does not enhance the immune response or increase the reabsorption of fluid; further teaching is needed.
