Oxycodone: Indications:
You're giving me something for the pain now?
Let your patient know which medication you are giving, and what it is
intended to treat. - ANS ✔Yes, this is oxycodone. It's a medication that is
used for treating severe pain like you are experiencing now. You should
begin to feel your pain level go down within ten minutes of taking it.
Oxycodone: dependency
Isn't oxycodone pretty addictive?
This is a chance to address the patient's concern about developing an
opioid dependency. - ANS ✔When used short-term for acute pain, it is
very rare to develop an addiction to oxycodone. Keeping your pain under
control is a big part of your recovery and overall health, so it's important to
ask for pain medication when you need it.

Oxycodone: Adverse effects
[no patient question]
Let Tina know about any common side effects she might experience,
and if there is anything she should call a provider for. - ANS ✔You
might feel sleepy while taking this drug; that's very common. Constipation
is also common, and if you experience that, we can add a stool softener to
your medication orders. Oxycodone can also cause breathing problems for
some people, so I'll be monitoring your vitals regularly, and if you start to
notice that you are having trouble breathing, be sure to let someone know
immediately.
Clindamycin: Indications
[no patient question]
Let Tina know that you will be adding clindamycin to her IV and what
it is for. - ANS ✔I'm going to start your clindamycin drip. It's an antibiotic
that will help treat the infection from your foot wound.
Allergies: Clindamycin
Is clindamycin like penicillin? I have a penicillin allergy, so I'm always
worried about taking antibiotics.
