Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing an in-service regarding medications that can cause abstinence syndrome. Which of the following medications can cause abstinence syndrome? (Select All That Apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B

Rationale: The correct answers are A and B because Butorphanol (Stadol) and Buprenorphine (Buprenex) are opioid medications that can cause abstinence syndrome upon abrupt discontinuation. Abstinence syndrome, also known as withdrawal syndrome, occurs when a person who is physically dependent on a drug suddenly stops taking it, leading to a range of withdrawal symptoms. Both Butorphanol and Buprenorphine are opioids that act on the same receptors in the brain as other opioids, so abrupt cessation can trigger withdrawal symptoms. Oxycodone (
C) is also an opioid but is not specifically known to cause abstinence syndrome. Naloxone (
D) is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose and does not cause abstinence syndrome.
