Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Evaluation of pain effectiveness of parenteral pain medications needs to occur within 15 to 30 minutes of administration. Ten minutes, 1 hour, and 2 hours are not accurate time frames to evaluate the effectiveness of parenteral medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Severe pain is treated with an opiate agonist (i.e., morphine). Severe pain is not treated with acetaminophen, oxycodone, or Percodan.
