Question 1 of 5

Which patient may require a higher-than-expected dose of an opioid analgesic?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: A patient with cancer. Patients with cancer often develop tolerance to opioid analgesics due to chronic pain and prolonged exposure. This necessitates higher doses to achieve the same pain relief. In contrast, patients with hypotension (choice
A) may be more sensitive to opioids due to hemodynamic instability, requiring lower doses. Patients with a concussion (choice
B) may also be more sensitive due to the risk of respiratory depression. Postoperative patients (choice
C) typically have acute pain that can be managed with standard doses. In summary, patients with cancer often require higher doses of opioids due to tolerance, while the other choices are less likely to require increased doses.
