Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The term equianalgesia refers to the relative potency of various opioid analgesics compared to a standard dose of parenteral morphine (gold standard opioid). This tool helps professionals individualize the analgesic regimen by guiding the adjustment of medication, dose, time interval, and route of administration. Polypharmacy is a generic term for multiple medication administration, often used with elders who are on many medications. Analgesia is a classification of medication used for pain control. Dose-reduction pharmacology is not a real term.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
During a pain history, it is the client's description of the pain that is most important, not the significant other's. The nurse should determine all of the other factors in order to put a plan of care in place that will help the client address and treat the pain effectively.
