A nurse is planning care for a client who has completed a detoxification from opioid abuse disorder. The nurse should expect a prescription for which of the following medications for the treatment of opioid abuse?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Morphine sulfate is an opioid used for pain management and not for treating opioid use disorder. B. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid and would not be prescribed for opioid abuse; it may be used for pain management in certain cases but is not for detoxification or maintenance. C. Naltrexone is another option for opioid use disorder but is typically used after detoxification. It is not used for detoxification itself. D. Methadone is commonly prescribed for the treatment of opioid use disorder, as it helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without causing a high.
