Question

question 5 of 6
tomle takes prescribed opioids for her back pain. she wonders if she should take more drug than shes prescribed to get faster pain relief. why is this a bad idea?
○ it can make her feel more pain.
○ it can make her develop an opioid tolerance.
○ it can make her experience withdrawal symptoms.
○ it can make her feel more sensitive to feelings of pleasure.

Explanation:

Taking more opioids than prescribed can lead to the body adapting, requiring higher doses for the same effect (tolerance). The first option is incorrect as opioids relieve pain, not increase it. Withdrawal occurs when stopping use, not over - using. Opioids don't increase pleasure sensitivity in this context. So the correct reason is developing opioid tolerance.

Answer:

B. It can make her develop an opioid tolerance.
