Effective for moderately severe to severe pain Relief of severe cough (codeine)

anxiety and sedate
Morphone (actions) - CORRECT ANSWER-Actions on organs:
CNS: drowsiness, euphoria, sedation, mental clouding

Resp: depressed rate/depth of respirations and aggravation of asthma: suppress
cough reflex (codeine)
GIT = ↓peristalsis in stomach & intestines; gastric, ↓pancreas/bile secretions;
gallbladder spasm (morphine) GUT = bladder contraction/spasm (urinary retention)
Skin: itching and rash
Morphone (adverse reactions) - CORRECT ANSWER-Adverse reactions:
Physical dependence
Possible withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuing.
Opioid tolerance
Need to address the patient's pain because it takes priority over concerns about drug
addiction or physical dependence.
Symptoms of opioid withdrawal - CORRECT ANSWER-Early signs
Yawning, perspiring, tearing, nasal drainage

Eye: pupil dilation, increase in intraocular pressure
Anticholinergic (glycopyrrolate) cholinergic blocking drug (indications) - CORRECT
ANSWER-Indications:
↓ muscle rigidity and diminishes tremors (Parkinson's)
inhibit the vagal stimulus (increase HR in bradycardia)
Bronchospasm (dilate bronchioles in asthma)
irritable bowel syndrome (relief of diarrhea S/S)
