describes a constant level of pain

New cards
21

Breakthrough pain

describes when pain of greater intensity occurs intermittently for no particular reason

New cards
22

Provoked pain

New cards
23

A physical and emotional reliance on a drug; Withdrawal when drug is discontinued or dose is reduced

New cards
24

addiction

Compulsive disorder leading to continued use of drug despite harm

New cards
25

what do nonnarcotic analgesics do

Inhibits prostaglandin production in the CNS

New cards
26

what does aspirin do

inhibits cyclooxygenase, the enzyme that converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandins

New cards
27

anesthesia

an intervention for intentional loss of feeling in a person’s body or part of the body when pain relief, anxiety relief, or muscle relaxation is required for patient care

New cards
28

neuraxial anesthesia

blocks sensation through injection of an anesthetic into the CNS without making the patient unconscious

New cards
29

local anesthesia

is used for local pain reduction

New cards
30

general anesthesia

causes reversible unconsciousness and absence of response to painful stimuli.

New cards
31

what are the most potent anethetics

gases and vapors

New cards

New cards
40

New cards
41

what is nitrous oxide (N2O) used for

Memory loss, mildly slowed breathing

New cards
42

what is Capsaicin used for

topical pain treatment

New cards
43

Principles of OAT

must be treated with respect and dignity

New cards
44

What is Buprenorphine-Naloxone

therapeutic agent has been shown to be lower risk to patients in terms of safety. The potential for diversion exists however overdose is less likely to be fatal.

New cards
45

what is Sustained Release Oral Morphine (SROM)

Due to the risks of toxicity associated with bolus absorption and diversion, extra safeguards need to be in place and are referred to in the NBCP directive.

New cards
46

what is iOAT

not considered first line of therapy, however, injectable hydromorphone is a newer agent considered for use in OUD. It is considered to have high potential for diversion and risk to patient outcomes

New cards
47

Dispensing documentation

Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians must document each step in dispensing of OAT. Given that medication used in OUD may require dilution, and that the agents are desirable for purposes of diversion, the documentation required is greater than that required for dispensing of typical (non-OAT) oral dosage forms

New cards
48

Clinical Documentation

Pharmacists must document patient assessment. Pharmacists or pharmacy technicians must document follow-up of patients for observed dosing or take-home dispensing

New cards
49
  • College documentation

The COllege must know who is providing OAT

New cards
50

what is a carry audit

they may be asked at any time to appear in the pharmacy and bring with them the remainder of their take-home doses and empty bottles, in their own lock box.

New cards
51

SROM

To limit potential for diversion, slow-release oral morphine is only to be provided via daily observed ingestion

New cards
52

iOAT

To limit potential for diversion and encourage safe injection technique, iOAT is only to be provided via daily observed self-administration in accordance with policy and practice guidelines

New cards
53

Education and Training Documentation

Pharmacy professionals must document within the pharmacy’s QMP that they have established and maintained competency for providing OAT for patients with OUD
