Question 1 of 5
A home care nurse administers oral morphine to the patient with cancer pain. When will the nurse expect the medication to reach peak activity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 45 minutes. Oral morphine typically reaches peak activity within 30-60 minutes after administration due to its absorption rate. After ingestion, the medication passes through the stomach and intestines before entering the bloodstream, which takes time.
Choice B (10 minutes) is too soon for peak activity.
Choice C (30 minutes) is close but not the peak time frame.
Choice D (60 minutes) is too late for peak activity.
