Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale 1: Buccal fentanyl is used only for patients who are already receiving fentanyl.
Rationale 2: Buccal fentanyl is used for breakthrough cancer pain.
Rationale 3: The opioid nave patient would not be started on buccal fentanyl.
Rationale 4: Buccal fentanyl is not used for migraine headaches.
Rationale 5: Buccal fentanyl is only used for adult patients.

Global Rationale: Buccal fentanyl is used only for adult patients who are already receiving fentanyl and who have breakthrough cancer pain. The opioid nave patient would not be started on buccal fentanyl. Buccal fentanyl is not used for migraine headaches.

Answer to Question 2

5,2,4,1,3

Global Rationale: When a vessel is injured, a spasm occurs to reduce blood loss. The platelets in the area become sticky and adhere to each other and to the damaged vessel. They release substances that attract additional platelets to the area. This further reduces blood flow. Insoluble fibrin strands form and coagulate to form an insoluble clot.
