Question:
Which statement by the client demonstrates that the client's
tramadol is working as anticipated? "My nausea is gone, so
that tramadol was effective." "I still feel warm, so I'm not sure
that new medicine helped." "Nothing is making this pain
better, only worse." "My pain was better so I was able to sleep
after taking that new medicine."
Answer:
·My pain was better so I was able to sleep after taking that new
medicine.· Like all analgesics, tramadol·s main therapeutic effect
, is the reduction of pain. The client·s statement, ·My pain was better
so I was able to sleep after taking that new medicine· indicates
a reduction in pain that would interfere with sleep. Tramadol
does not have antipyretic or antinausea effects. A client's
report that the pain is getting worse, not better, is an indicator
that the tramadol is not effective, and the nurse should
complete a focused assessment.
Question:
Tramadol: Pharmacological Action
Answer:
Mechanism of Action:
-Weakly binds to mu opioid receptors.
-Inhibits reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the
central nervous system (CNS). How it Works:
-Norepinephrine and serotonin regulate mood, relieve
depression, and manage chronic pain.
-By blocking the reuptake of both in the brain, tramadol
increases their levels, effectively blocking pain.
Question:
Tramadol: Adverse Effects
Answer:
Nursing Consideration:
-Due to the risk of respiratory depression and other effects on
breathing and oxygenation, reassess the client within 30-60
minutes after administration. Common Adverse Effects
-Respiratory depression
-Seizures
-Decreased fertility
