Final answer:
C) Aspirin is the correct answer because unlike Morphine, Codeine, and Oxycodone which are narcotic or narcotic-like analgesics, Aspirin is a non-opioid analgesic and does not have narcotic effects.
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the following are narcotic or narcotic-like analgesics, except:
- Morphine
- Codeine
- Aspirin
- Oxycodone
The correct answer to this question is C) Aspirin, as it is not a narcotic or narcotic-like analgesic. Morphine and Codeine are both naturally occurring opiates derived from the opium poppy and are used to relieve pain. Oxycodone is a synthetic opioid analgesic and is prescribed for moderate to severe pain management. Aspirin, on the other hand, is a non-opioid analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain without the narcotic effects, such as drowsiness and loss of consciousness, associated with opioid analgesics.
