CAADC test study questions with
complete solutions5
Narcan (naloxone) - ANSWERS-Narcan (naloxone) is an opioid antagonist used for the complete
or partial reversal of opioid overdose, including respiratory depression. Narcan is also used for
diagnosis of suspected or known acute opioid overdose and also for blood pressure support in
septic shock.
Opioid Antagonists - ANSWERS-drugs that can block the actions of opioids: naloxone (narcan)
and naltrexone (vivitrol)
An antagonist is a drug that blocks opioids by attaching to the opioid receptors without
activating them. Antagonists cause no opioid effect and block full agonist opioids. Examples are
naltrexone and naloxone. Naloxone is sometimes used to reverse a heroin overdose.
Opioid Partial Agonists - ANSWERS-Suboxone is a prescription medication that combines
buprenorphine and naloxone. It's used to treat opioid addiction. (Heroin and narcotic painkillers
are common opioid drugs.) Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called opioid partial
agonists, which help relieve symptoms of opiate withdrawal
Buprenorphine is a partial agonist meaning, it activates the opioid receptors in the brain, but to
a much lesser degree than a full agonist.
Opioid Agonists - ANSWERS-An agonist is a drug that activates certain receptors in the brain.
Full agonist opioids activate the opioid receptors in the brain fully resulting in the full opioid
effect. Examples of full agonists are heroin, oxycodone, methadone, hydrocodone, morphine,
opium and others.
, Texas Christian University Drug Screen - ANSWERS-The TCU Drug Screen 5 screens for mild to
severe substance use disorder, and is particularly useful when determining placement and level
of care in treatment.
CRAFFT Questionnaire - ANSWERS-The CRAFFT is a behavioral health screening tool for use with
children under the age of 21 and is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics'
Committee on Substance Abuse for use with adolescents. It consists of a series of 6 questions
developed to screen adolescents for high risk alcohol and other drug use disorders
Matrix Model - ANSWERS-A style of treatment designed to aid in recovery from stimulant
substances like methamphetamine and cocaine. An integrative treatment. It includes aspects of
many different therapeutic styles and psychological orientations. An intensive outpatient
program. It is a 16 week model
CIWA-Ar - ANSWERS-Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Scale, Revised
9 item symptom rating scale, max score 67; <10 does not warrant intervention
SOAP notes - ANSWERS-An acronym for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan. Is a method
of documentation employed by health care providers to write out notes in a patient's chart,
along with other common formats, such as the admission note.
Lifecycle of heroin addiction - ANSWERS-1. experimentation 2. regular use 3. risky use/abuse 4.
dependance and addiction
Tuckman's Model - ANSWERS-Four stages of group development, which included the stages of
forming, storming, norming and performing. A fifth stage was later added by Tuckman about ten
years later, which is called adjourning.
COPES scale - ANSWERS-The Community Oriented Programs Environment Scale (CPES - formerly
known as the COPES) measures client and staff perceptions of the program environment.
