Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ibuprofen,naproxen/naproxen sodium,and ketorolac are all types of NSAIDs,which are used primarily for pain associated with inflammation.Opioids,such as morphine,are the preferred drugs for the management of acute,severe pain,including postoperative pain,post-traumatic pain,pain from vaso-occlusive crisis,and chronic cancer pain.Acetaminophen lacks the antiinflammatory effects of NSAIDs and provides only minimal antiinflammatory relief.Although aspirin is an antiinflammatory medication,because of its association with Reye's syndrome,its use is not recommended in children.
