A nurse is caring for a client who is taking celecoxib daily. The nurse should identify that a history of which of the following disorders indicates a need for this type of medication?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Infection is not an indication for celecoxib. This medication does not have antimicrobial properties and would not be prescribed for the treatment or prevention of infections. B. Depression is not treated with celecoxib. Antidepressants, such as SSRIs or SNRIs, are indicated for mood disorders, not NSAIDs like celecoxib. C. Osteoarthritis is commonly treated with celecoxib, a COX-2 inhibitor that reduces pain and inflammation. D. Seizures are treated with antiepileptic drugs (such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, or valproic acid), not NSAIDs. Celecoxib has no therapeutic effect in seizure management.
