Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Sickle-cell anemia is a chronic and painful disorder, and is often treated with opioids. Diabetes and congestive heart failure are chronic disorders, but are not typically managed with opioids. Broken bones are painful, and opioids may be used. However, broken bones and the associated pain are acute events.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: All are adverse effects, but respiratory depression is the top priority.
