7. A patient receives 10 mg of morphine orally at home for pain management. The patient is
in the emergency department and is to receive 4 mg of morphine IV for severe pain. The
patient asks the nurse why they are only getting 4 mg of IV morphine when at home they
take 10 mg of morphine. What is the best response by the nurse?
“Intravenous medications go directly into the bloodstream while oral medications
must first go through the liver and some of the medication is made inactive.”
“I will clarify this order with the healthcare provider because 4 mg is not enough
since you take such a large amount at home”
“I will administer this dose now and if it does not work, I will double the dose next
time in order to control your pain.”
“Because morphine is highly addictive and we are worried about the opioid crisis,
the healthcare provider has ordered a smaller dose for you.”
