Pain Management Pearls: Opioids and Culture
  • Pharmacology
  • Pain Management: Opioid(s)
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.00 ANCC
$15.00
Pain affects all domains of life, and clinicians have few effective tools at their disposal to help these patients. Opioids remain the strongest group of analgesic drugs available. Millions of patients are safely and effectively maintained on relatively high-dose opioids for chronic, severe pain and require these medications to function. However, opioids, like many medications, have serious risks and should not be treated like a cure-all. This dichotomy has resulted in many patients for whom opioid analgesics are appropriate increasingly experiencing barriers to pain relief.
