Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4

Rationale 1: Opioid blockers such as naloxone (Narcan) inhibit both the mu and kappa receptors.
Rationale 2: Some opioids stimulate a particular receptor; others block a receptor.
Rationale 3: Opioid blockers such as naloxone (Narcan) inhibit both the mu and kappa receptors.
Rationale 4: Opioids interact with at least six types of receptors: mu (types one and two), kappa, sigma, delta, and epsilon.
Rationale 5: Opioids interact with at least six types of receptors: mu (types one and two), kappa, sigma, delta, and epsilon.

Global Rationale: Opioid blockers such as naloxone (Narcan) inhibit both the mu and kappa receptors. Some opioids stimulate a particular receptor; others block a receptor. Opioids interact with at least six types of receptors: mu (types one and two), kappa, sigma, delta, and epsilon.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

Rationale 1: Reiki is a nonpharmacologic therapy for pain management.
Rationale 2: Heat or cold packs are nonpharmacologic therapy for pain management.
Rationale 3: Massage is a nonpharmacologic therapy for pain management.
Rationale 4: Anti-inflammatory drugs are a pharmacologic therapy for pain.
Rationale 5: Opioid drugs are a pharmacologic therapy for pain.

Global Rationale: Reiki, the use of hot or cold packs, and massage are nonpharmacologic therapies for pain management. Anti-inflammatory and opioid drugs are pharmacologic therapies for pain.
