    Explanation
    Triclosan is not a skin and mucosal antiseptic agent. It is commonly used in personal care products such as soaps and toothpaste as an antibacterial agent, but it is not typically used as a disinfectant for the skin and mucous membranes. Ethanol, propanol, and iodine, on the other hand, are commonly used as antiseptics to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the skin and mucous membranes.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Actions of NSAIDS are the following EXCEPT:

    • Anti-histaminic

    • Anti-inflammatory

    • Analgesic

    • Antipyretic

    Correct Answer
    A. Anti-histaminic
    Explanation
    NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are a class of medications that primarily work by reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and lowering fever (antipyretic). However, they do not possess anti-histaminic properties. Anti-histamines are a separate class of drugs that specifically target histamine receptors to block allergic reactions and relieve symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. Therefore, the correct answer is "Anti-histaminic" as NSAIDs do not exhibit this action.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Therapeutic uses of NSAIDS are the following EXCEPT:

    • Antacid

    • Anti-inflammatory

    • Dysmenorrhea

    • Osteoarthritis

    Correct Answer
    A. Antacid
    Explanation
    NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are commonly used for their anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. They are effective in reducing pain, inflammation, and fever. However, they are not used as antacids. Antacids are medications used to neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. Unlike NSAIDs, antacids work by reducing the acidity in the stomach rather than targeting inflammation or pain. Therefore, the correct answer is "Antacid."

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Side effects of NSAIDS are the following EXCEPT:

    • Hepatotoxicity

    • Gastric ulcers

    • Urticaria

    • Prolongation of labor

    Correct Answer

    NSAID drugs are the following EXCEPT:

    • Tramadol

    • Ketorolac

    • Ibuprofen

    • Mefenamic acid

    Correct Answer
    A. Tramadol
    Explanation
    Tramadol is not classified as an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) because it works differently than traditional NSAIDs. While NSAIDs primarily inhibit the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation, tramadol works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. Therefore, although it is commonly used for pain relief, it is not considered an NSAID.

    • Aspirin

    • Indomethacin

    Correct Answer
    A. Betamethasone
    Explanation
    Betamethasone is a corticosteroid medication, not an NSAID drug. NSAIDs, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are a class of drugs that reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. Examples of NSAIDs include Aceclofenac, Aspirin, and Indomethacin. Betamethasone, on the other hand, is a synthetic corticosteroid that is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as allergies, asthma, and skin disorders. It works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. Therefore, Betamethasone does not belong to the NSAID drug class.
