A) Acetaminophen
B) Ferrous sulfate (Feosol)
C) Naproxen sodium (Naprosyn)
D) Ampicillin
C
Feedback:
Naproxen sodium is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug. There may also be a decreased loss of sodium and decreased antihypertensive effects if these drugs are combined with indomethacin, ibuprofen, salicylates, or other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. The patient receiving this combination should be monitored closely and appropriate dosage adjustments should be made. There is no contraindication to the intercurrent use of acetaminophen, ferrous sulfate, or ampicillin.
