Answer to Question 1

Lortab is a combination of hydrocodone (an opioid analgesic) and acetaminophen (a nonopioid
analgesic). The numbers refer to the amount of each drug per tablet. Each tablet contains 2.5 mg of
hydrocodone and 500 mg of acetaminophen.

Answer to Question 2

 Do not bear weight on the affected ankle for 48 hours. Use crutches for walking.
 Keep the affected ankle elevated on pillows (above the heart) as much as possible for 48 hours.
 Apply an ice bag to the ankle for 20 minutes out of every hour while awake for the first 24 to 48
hours.
