reviewing credible evidence so that they can provide the best practice in their patients’ care

(Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2018). During my critical appraisal of four research articles, it

became evident that clinicians who prescribe opioids need to provide better means of educating

patients to prevent events of opioid use disorder (OUD) and drug overdose.

Best Practice

Most studies identify the trends and mention potential for improvement by means of

educational or behavioral methods to help prevent OUD, but do not delve into possible solutions.

One study, however, was quite successful when implementing a repeated multi-dose brief

behavioral intervention addressing opioid overdose and related risk behaviors, referred to as

REBOOT (Coffin et al., 2017). This study detailed specific counseling sessions based on

assessing patterns in opioid usage, re-educating regarding misuse of medications, and
