Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs was most likely administered to the patient suffering from colon cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Buprenorphine is a partial µ (mu) opioid agonist that is more potent than morphine and has effects that are not readily antagonized by naloxone. This makes it a suitable choice for a patient with severe pain, such as one suffering from colon cancer. Buprenorphine can provide effective pain relief without the risk of easy reversal by naloxone, making it the most likely drug administered in this case.
Question 2 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.
