Today’s video is all about opioid analgesics for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

Analgesics are a drug class that reduce pain or fever. Opioids are a type of analgesic that binds to receptors in the brain and spinal cord, changing a patient’s perception of pain.

As a nurse, you should know how opioids (like fentanyl) can cause addiction, respiratory depression, and apnea.

Mike, I am an economist but if I could start again I would be a rnurse. I love everything especially in your interpretation. I am on low and slow and clean for 4 years.

Thank you sooo much! Took the exam yesterday and this video as well as the psychia drugs video helped me a lot! No results yet, I finished the exam around 5pm, but did the PVT and it gave me a good pop up so praying fervently!! 🙏

I was falling asleep while listening then Fentanyl creepy voice really freaked me out I’m not kidding!! I’m having a heart palpitation now. I thought I’m having a nightmare while the headphones are on my ear falling asleep.

my school stated that we should give oral penicillin on an empty stomach, 1 or 2 hours after a meal. so, is this different or something? Im confused.

Great video Nurse Mike. You are so good!

Add Miralax daily if using opiods. Add prunes daily. Add a Dose with stimulant laxative if needed.

Why gastric lavage was performed even though this poisoning was due to over consumption of intravenous opioid?

What are the best responses to patients who consitently want their prn opioids but are upset because you deny to give them, their VS are low, they're more than drowsy, etc. I'm a new LPN and I feel in my gut it's not right to give more when they can barely stay awake for a minute when asking questions, BP low.

[floare]

I take methadone daily 142 mg and it makes me sleepy for sure it is a strong Opiate.

soooo if rr is lower than 12, naloxone or call RR? or is it naloxone and if treatment isn't working then call RR? That was explained two different ways.
