Question 1 of 5
Which of the following cardiovascular actions most likely contributed to the therapeutic effect of morphine in the patient's disorder?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Constriction of the renal vascular bed is a common effect of opioids like morphine, which can help reduce fluid overload and improve cardiac function in patients with impending pulmonary edema. This constriction leads to a decrease in renal blood flow and subsequently decreases the filtration of fluid into the kidneys, alleviating symptoms of pulmonary edema. This effect helps to reduce the patient's overall fluid volume and cardiac workload, contributing to the therapeutic benefit in the context of heart failure.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following was most likely the reason for using naloxone in the patient's detoxification program?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Naloxone is commonly used in detoxification programs to discourage the intravenous abuse of opioids like buprenorphine. By adding naloxone to the buprenorphine/naloxone combination, it can help deter individuals from misusing the medication by injection. This combination is often used to prevent the euphoric effects of opioids if injected, making naloxone a suitable choice for this purpose.
