Agroup of nursing students are reviewing the pain-relieving action of nsaids. the students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which actions as being blocked to achieve pain relief?

The blocking of the activity of cyclooxygenase- 2.

Explanation:

The NSAIDs or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug mainly prevents COX-2 or cyclooxygenase-2 enzymes from functioning. The NSAIDs are generally a group of medicines, which relieve fever and pain and minimize inflammation. The COX-2 enzymes are accountable for discharging prostaglandins post-injury or after infection.  

The prostaglandins exhibit many different effects, of which one is to monitor inflammation. By mainly preventing COX-2 enzymes, the NSAIDs relieve pain and inflammation with less harmful gastrointestinal effects.  

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
