Kirk sprained his ankle and is asking for pain medication for his mild-to-moderate pain. The appropriate first-line medication would be:
 
  1. Ibuprofen (Advil)
  2. Acetaminophen with hydrocodone (Vicodin)
  3. Oxycodone (Oxycontin)
  4. Oral morphine (Roxanol)

Question 2

When prescribing an opioid analgesic such as acetaminophen and codeine (Tylenol 3), instructions to the patient should include:
 
  1. The medication may cause sedation and they should not drive.
  2. Constipation is a common side effect and they should increase fluids and fiber.
  3. Patients should not take any other acetaminophen-containing medications at the same time.
  4. All of the above
