Pharmacology and the Nursing Process by Linda Lane Lilley: Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is a contraindication for using aspirin?

High fiber diet

Flu-like symptoms in children and teenagers

The other options are incorrect because they are not considered contraindications for using aspirin. A high fiber diet, excessive water intake, and vitamin D deficiency may have an impact on a person's health, but they are not considered to be a reason for someone not to use aspirin. Flu-like symptoms, however, can be a sign of Reye's syndrome, which is a rare but serious condition that can be triggered by taking aspirin. As a result, aspirin is not recommended for children and teenagers with flu-like symptoms.
