Male client with osteoarthritis informs the nurse that he is allergic to ibuprofen. he asks if he can take mobic instead. the nurse responds that this is not a good idea, because there is cross-sensitivity to other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). what statement about cross-sensitivity is accurate?

if the client is allergic to one nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs then he is most likely allergic to all of them.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within this question it can be said that the most accurate statement in regards to this scenario is that if the client is allergic to one nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs then he is most likely allergic to all of them. This is because NSAID's mostly use the same ingredients to target inflammation. A popular substitute in these cases has been drugs such as Tylenol which are over-the-counter pain relievers that do not target inflammation.
