Older patients are more likely to experience the adverse effects associated with narcotics, including central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular effects. Furthermore, a strong narcotic analgesic would not be indicated for chronic osteoarthritis pain. For both of these reasons, the nurse would question the large dosage of a narcotic.

Antiasthmatics are frequently used in children. The leukotriene-receptor antagonists have been found to be especially effective for long-term prophylaxis in children. Acute episodes are best treated with a beta-agonist and then a long-acting inhaled steroid or a mast cell stabilizer. Xanthines (e.g., theophylline) have been used in children, but because of their many adverse effects and the better control afforded by newer agents, its use is reserved for patients who do not respond to other therapies. Topical steroid nasal decongestants may be used for symptom relief for nasal congestion but are not a regular part of asthma therapy in children.
