Term
What are the main drug categories for pain relief?
Give this one a try later!
, Pharmacological: non-opioid, opioid, adjuvant/co-analgesics
Non-pharmacological: cutaneous stimulation, cognitive therapies, elevation,
physical modalities
Holistic, patient-centered approach integrating multiple disciplines
Mild (Hgb 10–12): palpitations, exertional dyspnea, mild fatigue
Moderate (Hgb 6–10): bounding pulse, dyspnea, fatigue, tinnitus
Severe (Hgb <6): tachycardia, angina, HF, icteric sclera, hepatosplenomegaly,
pallor, bone pain, glossitis, orthopnea, neurologic deficits
GI effects: heartburn (stay upright 30 min), constipation (may need stool
softeners/laxatives)
Teeth staining: use a straw when taking liquid form
Non-opioid: mild pain (acetaminophen, NSAIDs, aspirin, adjuvants)
Opioid: moderate to severe pain
Pure agonists: morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, methadone, oxycodone,
codeine (no analgesic ceiling)
Partial agonists: pentazocine, butorphanol (have ceiling; may precipitate
withdrawal)
Co-analgesics/adjuvants: neuropathic pain
Don't know?

Term
What are common clinical manifestations and complications of iron
deficiency anemia?
, Give this one a try later!
General: pallor, fatigue, weakness
Oral: glossitis (inflamed tongue), cheilitis (cracked lips), burning tongue
Neurological: headache, paresthesia (restless legs)
Other: reduced exercise tolerance, dizziness, irritability
Structures: bone marrow, blood, spleen, lymph system
Functions of blood: transportation, regulation, protection
Blood components: plasma (water, proteins, electrolytes, gases, nutrients, waste) +
blood cells
Administer on empty stomach if tolerated
Take with vitamin C or citrus juice
Avoid milk, antacids, or high-calcium foods at the same time
Monitor for GI discomfort and constipation
Educate patient to use a straw for liquid iron to prevent teeth staining
Cutaneous stimulation: massage, TENS, acupuncture, heat/cold therapy
Cognitive therapies: distraction, hypnosis, guided imagery, relaxation
Elevation: reduce edema to decrease pain
