Question 1
For a patient experiencing severe cancer-related bone pain, which analgesic agent offers the most appropriate and effective relief?
  • Meloxicam✔️
  • Fentanyl
  • Amitriptyline
  • Carbamazepine
Correct Answer Explanation
NSAIDs like meloxicam are particularly effective for bone pain due to their prostaglandin-inhibiting mechanism, which reduces the osteoclast-driven pain of metastatic bone disease.
