Program Overview
There are many reasons why switching from one opioid analgesic to another may be necessary and helpful, yet safely doing so appears to involve as much clinical art as science. This can make healthcare providers and their patients justifiably nervous, and may be a prime reason why opioids are not always prescribed appropriately. What can practitioners do? This knowledge based activity will use case studies and examples to educate health care providers on both the art and science of opioid treatment and rotation for chronic pain.
Nurse Educational Objectives
