BEERs criteria considerations muscle relaxants
-avoid carisoprodol, cyclobenzaprine, and methocarbamol
39
BEERs criteria considerations SNRIs, TCAs, carbamazepine
-be cautious with SNRIs, TCAs, carbamazepine due to changes in Na+
40
BEERs criteria considerations opioids and benzo combo use
-avoid opioids and benzos combo therapy
41
BEERs criteria considerations opioids and gabapentanoids combo use
-avoid opioids and gabapentanoids
42
BEERs criteria considerations anticholinergics
-avoid anticholinergic with other anticholinergics and/or TCA or muscle relaxants --decrease amount of anticholinergic effects pts is on in total
43
BEERs criteria considerations CNS acting drugs: anti-epileptics (including gabapentanoids) antidepressants (TCAs, SSRIs, SNRIs) antipsychotics benzos Z drugs opioids muscle relaxants
avoid use of 3 or more to reduce risk of falls and fractures
44
tx of opioid withdrawal
clonidine buprenorphine methadone
45
opioids uses
acute and chronic pain
46
opioids SE
constipation NV itching orthostatic hypotension urinary retention sedation respiratory depression
47
opioids clinical pearls
consider starting stool softener and/or stimulant laxative potential for tolerance, dependance or addiction
48
codeine (tylenol #3) clinical pearls
controlled substance (strengths determines what level) metabolized by CYP2D6 -poor metabolizers get no effect from codeine -ultra rapid metabolizers may experience OD, especially in children -not recommended in breastfeeding mothers or children under 12
49
tramadol (Ultram-d/c, ConZip, Qdolo) clinical pearls
risk of serotonin syndrome with other serotonergic agents renally dose adjusted boxed warning: use of CYP3A4 inducers, inhibitors and 2D6 inhibitors with tramadol requires careful consideration of the effects on the parent drug and metabolite
50
morphine clinical pearls
itching more common than in other opioids renally excreted and may accumulate in renal dysfxn -avoid in AKI or ESRD boxed warning: avoid alcohol while taking ER caps - leads to increased morphine levels and possible OD
51
hydromorphone (Dilaudid) clinical pearls
boxed warning: dosing errors when prescribing, dispensing and administering -oral solution: confusion in mg and mL -IV: do not confuse high potency solution (10mg/mL) with others (1, 2, or 4mg/mL)
52
hydrocodone +/- APAP clinical pearls
counsel pts on acetaminophen use and OD boxed warning: use with CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase hydrocodone conc.
53
allergy cross reaction between opioids recommendations - natural opiates (morphine and codeine)
avoid in pts with allergy to other natural opiates and semi synthetic opioids
54
allergy cross reaction between opioids recommendations - semi synthetic opioids (hydrocodone, hydromphone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, buprenorphine)
avoid in pts with allergy to other semi synthetic opioids and natural opiates
55
allergy cross reaction between opioids recommendations - synthetic opioids (fentanyl, methadone, meperidine, tramadol)
can be used if pt has allergy to another synthetic opioid, semi synthetic opioid or natural opiate
56
oxycodone +/- APAP clinical pearls
APAP use and daily limit boxed warning: use with CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase oxycodone conc.
57
fentanyl clinical pearls
monitor pts also on CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers can use in renal impairment less HTN risk
58
besides injectable forms, fentanyl is only indicated for pts who are _______ _______, which means they have taken _____mg or more for at least __ week(s)
opioid tolerant, 60, 1
59
T/F: you can use the fentanyl transdermal patch dose and convert to oral morphine equivalent dose to choose an appropriate opioid option
F
60
T/F: you can use the oral morphine equivalent dose to calculate the fentanyl transdermal patch dose
T
61
fentanyl patch counseling
1 patch q72h do not cut the patch or use it if torn or damaged do not use over broken skin avoid heating the patch (could lead to OD)
62
methadone clinical pearls
QTc prolongation boxed warning: monitor pts receiving 3A4 inhibitors or inducers long half life (8-59 hrs)
63
who to avoid meperidine in
avoid in elderly avoid in renal impairment caution in hepatic impairment
64
meperidine boxed warnings
boxed warning: monitor pts receiving 3A4 inhibitors or inducers boxed warning: do not use within 14 days of MAOi
65

T
66
list the opioids that may lower seizure threshold and may cause serotonin syndrome
TRAMADOL oxycodone fentanyl methadone meperidine codeine buprenorphine
67
opioid naive pts should be initiated on _____ (IR or ER) forms
IR
68
when should clinicians reevaluate benefits and risks of opioid use with pts
within 1-4 weeks of initiation
69
when should clinician help pt reduce/taper opioids
-if pt requests it -no improvement in pain -if pt is on 50MME+/day with out benefit or also on benzos
70
how to reduce/taper opioids
-decrease dose by 10% per month if pts have taken for more than a year -decrease 10% per week if pts have taken for a shorter time (weeks-months) -once lowest dose is reached, may alternate/extend days between doses (this is the point where they can be stopped)
71
2017 opioid prescribing limit states what?
physicians prescribing initial opioid to pt may not prescribe more than 7 days supply -first Rx from that prescriber to that pt exceptions: -cancer -medication assisted tx for SUD -palliative care -professional judgement
72
2019 inspect law requirements
-prescriber must check INSPECT each time they are prescribing an opioid or benzo to any pt -must check INSPECT q90days -no exceptions here
73
when taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen together, you should alternate them at an interval of q__h
3
74
pt education on pain
pain is normal while you are healing and recovering goal is to manage it so you can do necessary tasks for yourself like: -eat -sleep -walk -breathe deeply
75
T/F: pts in hospital for acute pain can only have one prescription for one pain severity, not one for each level of severity (ex.-1-3, 4-6, or 7-10)
F, they can have one prescription for each of the severity levels

morphine IV or solution (20mg/mL) under tongue -could use fentanyl or hydromorphone
