For how many days should Ketorolac (Toradol) be limited in adults?

3 days
5 days
10 days
14 days

The correct answer is: 5 days

Ketorolac (Toradol) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney damage with prolonged use. Therefore, it is recommended to limit the use of Ketorolac in adults to a maximum of 5 days due to these safety concerns. Option A is too short of a duration for many conditions that may require NSAID therapy, while options C and D exceed the recommended duration and increase the risk of adverse effects without providing significant additional benefit.
