RATIONALE: Fentanyl is a transdermal opioid agonist for
managing persistent, moderate to severe chronic pain. It takes up
to 24 hours after the client applies the patch for medication levels
to reach their peak. Use short-acting analgesics to treat acute or
breakthrough pain.

a. Increase in the dosage
RATIONALE:A TSH of 5.2 is above the expected reference
range, which indicates the thyroid hormone level is not adequate
(so the TSH is trying to increase to compensate and release more
thyroid hormone.) Increase the dosage to achieve a therapeutic
TSH, undergo lab testing in 6-8 weeks after dosage increase to
reassess the TSH level

works in the parietal cells of the stomach by inhibiting the
