Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has breast cancer and reports pain 1 hr after administration of prescribed morphine 10 mg IV. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fentanyl transmucosa. Fentanyl is a potent opioid that can be used for breakthrough cancer pain. Its transmucosal route allows for rapid onset of action, making it suitable for acute pain management like the situation described.
Choice A (Morphine tablet) may not provide quick relief as it needs time to be absorbed.
Choice C (Lidocaine patch) is not suitable for severe pain relief.
Choice D (Naloxone IV) is an opioid antagonist used for opioid overdose, not for pain relief.
