-
A. Nsaids for adjuvant pain
-
B. Laxatives for constipation
-
C. Anti-depressants to supplement pain relief
-
D. Anti-emetic to treat nausea
Correct Answer
A. D. Anti-emetic to treat nauseaExplanation
When starting patients on opioids for pain, it is important to consider the use of anti-emetics to treat nausea. Opioids commonly cause nausea and vomiting as side effects, which can lead to poor adherence to the medication and decreased pain relief. By using anti-emetics, the nausea can be effectively managed, allowing patients to continue taking the opioids and receive the full benefit of pain relief. This can improve patient satisfaction and overall treatment outcomes.Rate this question:

You are completing a family meeting for a patient with for moderately advanced Alzheimer’s type dementia in which you have been describing the nature and likely course of the disease. The patient is unable to participate. In concluding the meeting, it is MOST IMPORTANT to:
-
A. Summarize the plan for care
-
B. Reassure the family that all will be OK
-
C. Tell them to be strong
-
D. Summarize their decisions about code status
Correct Answer
A. A. Summarize the plan for careExplanation
In concluding the family meeting for a patient with moderately advanced Alzheimer's type dementia, it is most important to summarize the plan for care. This is crucial because the patient is unable to participate, and the family needs to have a clear understanding of the next steps and the care that will be provided. Summarizing the plan for care helps ensure that the family is well-informed and can make informed decisions regarding the patient's treatment and well-being. Reassuring the family and telling them to be strong may be comforting, but it is not as important as providing them with a clear plan for care. Summarizing their decisions about code status may also be important, but it is not the most crucial aspect in concluding the meeting.Rate this question:

This self-awareness and understanding can help healthcare professionals approach end-of-life care with empathy, respect, and sensitivity.Rate this question:
