A patient diagnosed with migraine headache is experiencing what type of pain?
Acute pain
Persistent pain
Vascular pain
Phantom pain
Vascular pain
Vascular pain is thought to account for a large percentage of migraine headaches. It is
believed to originate from vascular or perivascular tissues. It is characterized by
persistent and recurring pain lasting 3 to 6 months. Acute pain is sudden and usually
subsides when treated. Phantom pain occurs in the area of a body part that has been
removed—surgically or traumatically—and is often described as burning, itching,
tingling, or stabbing. It can also occur in paralyzed limbs following spinal cord injury.
An 18-year-old basketball player fell and twisted his ankle during a game. Which
type of analgesic is he likely to be given?
A synthetic opioid, such as meperidine hydrochloride
An opium alkaloid, such as morphine sulphate
An opioid antagonist, such as naloxone hydrochloride (Suboxone®)
A non-opioid analgesic, such as tramadol
,A non-opioid analgesic, such as tramadol
Pain originating from skeletal muscles, ligaments, and joints usually responds to non-
opioid analgesics such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). All drugs in
the NSAID class are especially useful for pain associated with inflammatory conditions
because these drugs have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
A patient is in the recovery room following abdominal surgery. He is groggy but
reports severe pain around his incision. What is the most important factor for the
nurse to consider during her patient assessment before administering a dose of
morphine sulphate?
Temperature
Respiration rate
Appearance of the incision
Time of last bowel movement
Respiration rate
One of the most serious side effects of opioids is respiratory depression, so respiration
must be assessed prior to administering a dose of morphine.
A 78-year-old patient is in the recovery room after lengthy hip surgery. While
gradually awakening, the patient requests pain medication. Within 10 minutes
after receiving a dose of morphine sulphate, the patient is very lethargic;
respiration is shallow, at a rate of nine respirations per minute. What necessary
action may the nurse need to perform?
Close observation for signs of opioid tolerance
Immediate intubation and artificial ventilation
Administration of naloxone, an opioid
reversal agent
Administration of an agonist opioid, such as fentanyl (Duragesic Mat)
Administration of naloxone, an opioid reversal agent
Naloxone, an opioid reversal agent, is used to reverse the effects of acute opioid
overdose and is the drug of choice for reversal of opioid-induced respiratory depression.
A patient will be discharged with a 1-week supply of an opioid analgesic for pain
management after his abdominal surgery. What should the nurse teach this
patient in regard to this drug?
How to manage diarrhea
How to access drug addiction programs
How to prevent constipation
How to avoid dehydration due to polyuria
, How to prevent constipation
Gastrointestinal occurrences such as nausea, vomiting, and constipation are the most
common adverse effects associated with opioid analgesics. Physical dependence
usually occurs in patients undergoing long-term treatment.
A patient who has been treated for lung cancer for 3 years has noticed that over
the past few months the opioid analgesic that is being used is not helping as
much, and says that taking more medication is needed for the same pain relief.
What is this patient experiencing?
Opioid toxicity
Addiction
Opioid tolerance
Abstinence syndrome
Opioid tolerance
Opioid tolerance is a common physiological result of long-term opioid use. Patients with
opioid tolerance require larger doses of the opioid agent to maintain the same level of
analgesia.
A 38-year-old male has arrived at the urgent care centre with severe hip pain after
falling from a ladder at work. He has taken several pain pills over the past few
hours but cannot remember how many he has taken. He hands the nurse an
empty bottle of acetaminophen (Tylenol®). What is the most serious toxic effect
of acute acetaminophen overdose?
Tachycardia
Central nervous system (CNS) depression
Hepatic necrosis
Nephrotic necrosis
Hepatic necrosis
Hepatic necrosis is the most serious acute toxic effect of an acute overdose of
acetaminophen. Tachycardia and CNS depression are not side effects of acute
acetaminophen overdose. Long-term, not short-term, ingestion of large doses is more
likely to result in nephropathy.
The drug pentazocine (Talwin®) is a narcotic agonist-antagonist. Which
statement describes a characteristic of this type of medication?
It has minimal analgesic effects.
It works to reverse the effects of opiates.
Its adverse effects differ from those of the opiate narcotics.
It has a lower addiction potential than opiate narcotics.
