A nursing instructor teaches nursing students about the steps to be taken while obtaining a guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT). Which statement if made by a student indicates the need for further learning?
"I should instruct the patient to abstain from taking nonsteroidal mitigating drugs the day preceding the test."
Nonsteroidal mitigating operators (typically truncated to NSAIDs) are a gathering of medications that assuage agony and fever and decrease aggravation.
There are almost two dozen unique NSAIDs accessible, yet they all work similarly, and that is by hindering a particular gathering of chemicals called cyclo-oxygenase catalysts, frequently condensed to COX proteins. These chemicals are answerable for the creation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are a gathering of mixes with hormone-like impacts that control a wide range of procedures, for example, aggravation, bloodstream, and the development of blood clots.
