Explanation
Choices A and D are correct. Ketorolac is a medication used to treat pain and pyrexia. A client exhibiting a decrease in pain and having a decrease in temperature would be a therapeutic response.
Choices B, C, and E are incorrect. Ketorolac does not therapeutically lower blood pressure, increase urinary output, or increase muscle coordination. Medications that could be used to lower blood pressure would be agents such as lisinopril, atenolol, etc. Agents used to increase urinary output would be diuretics such as furosemide. The improvement in muscle coordination may be achieved by medications such as levodopa-carbidopa.
