Pain management answers and RN's...? |
Is it me, or are there a lot of people of YA! that claim to be RN's, yet know less than a 16 year old when it comes narcotic pain medications and pain inducing medical conditions? Just curious because I have seen a lot of answers recently from people who state their source as being an RN, yet have blatantly WRONG answers. And what exactly does being an RN matter? Well, let's see. Wouldn't a nurse know that Lortab is not the brand name for Oxycodone? And would a nurse really tell someone who is experiencing extreme, and new, migraine symptoms to just take an extra pain pill? what about a nurse that claims it is perfectly safe to take antidepressants and Tramadol even though any pharmacist will tell you that there is a very increased risk of Seritonin Syndrome with this drug combination. Or the ones who say it is OK to exceed the written prescribed amount of pain medication if the first two you took were not working. I am not talking about an extra Advil either but rather an extra 30 mg oxycodone an hour after taking the first dose. Which, by the way, I know you only take one of those at a time unless you are a terminal cancer patient and no less than 4 hours apart, but usually 6. Just seems to me that a real nurse would know these things... I don't work with narcotic pain medications often enough to consider myself an expert on the topic--so I don't answer detailed questions on them. You do, and that's great =). |
