Question

Which statement is NOT true of salicylate NSAIDs?

a) They reduce pain and inflammation
b) They are used for fever reduction
c) They are contraindicated for headaches
d) They have no analgesic effects

Answer 1

Salicylate NSAIDs have analgesic effects, so statement d) is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is d) They have no analgesic effects.

Salicylate NSAIDs are a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that include drugs like aspirin. These drugs are known for their analgesic (pain-relieving), anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects.

Therefore, statement d) is not true as salicylate NSAIDs do have analgesic effects.
