Answer to Question 2

B
Diarrhea is not an adverse effect of morphine sulfate; constipation is an adverse effect, thus fur-ther teaching is indicated.
Adverse effects of morphine sulfate include orthostatic hypotension, thus no further teaching is indicated.
Urinary retention is an adverse effect of morphine sulfate, thus no further teaching is indicated.
Bradypnea is an adverse effect of morphine sulfate, thus no further teaching is indicated.
