Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct: Fentanyl is 80 to 100 times as potent as morphine sulfate, so respiratory depression is a risk with this agent.
B Incorrect: This is very unlikely.
C Incorrect: Although this is part of assessing the client's level of consciousness, this is not the best answer.
D Incorrect: Fentanyl is not used as a cough suppressant.

A Incorrect: Following major surgery, IV analgesia is required for pain management.
B Correct: IV (preferably PCA) morphine is the preferred analgesic for immediate postoperative pain.
C Incorrect: Following major surgery, IV analgesia is required for pain management.
