Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of medications commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and lower fever. They work by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that play a role in pain and inflammation. Celecoxib specifically belongs to the subclass of NSAIDs known as selective COX-2 inhibitors, which target the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). By selectively inhibiting COX-2, celecoxib helps to reduce inflammation and pain while potentially minimizing the gastrointestinal side effects associated with traditional non-selective NSAIDs.

Patient-centered care involves actively involving the patient in their care and considering their preferences, values, and goals. By discussing dietary preferences with the client, the nurse is demonstrating a patient-centered approach.
