  The nurse checks the medical record and sees the patient has an order for morphine 4 to 8 mg every 1 to 2 hour IV as needed for pain.

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Tinnitus is associated with salicylates. The disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) category of antimalarials may cause visual changes, GI upset, skin rash, headaches, photosensitivity, and bleaching of hair. Eighth cranial nerve damage and stomatitis are associated with gold therapy. Hirsutism is associated with corticosteroid therapy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Naloxone is the drug of choice for treatment of opioid overdose. Butorphanol (INN) is a morphinan-type synthetic opioid analgesic that would not reverse the effects of an opioid. Buprenex (buprenorphine hydrochloride) is a narcotic-agonist-antagonist and would suppress respirations further. Nalbuphine is a synthetic opioid used commercially as an analgesic that would also depress respirations.

Answer to Question 3

B
Feedback:
Ipecac is a drug that the Food and Drug Administration tested in 2003 and found, despite its use for many years, that it was not effective in inducing vomiting in children suspected of poisoning. As a result, it is no longer used. The mother should be instructed not to give it and to call poison control to get up-to-date instructions on how to deal with this emergency. Whether the pills were swallowed, this child requires appropriate intervention because it is better to err on the side of caution. Making a mess is not a concern.
