If you are trying to set the pump by yourself and don't know how to do this. DON'T. call a home health agency or whoever put the pump in the house with the patient.  If this is a school test question, then I can't help you. Read your book.

Narcan isn't something that should be taken without a very good reason for taking it.  Generally if too much is taken the extremelly rapid withdrawl will cause the person to be in extreme pain and discomfort.  Generally it is administered at a rate of 1 mg for the unconscious or overdosing person and if within 2 or 3 minutes of rescue breathing or CPR if the person lost their heartbeat than another 1 mg is to be administered.  Generally 5 mg is the maximum that should be given as if that doesn't make them sober than something other than an opiate was used.  Make sure that the user doesn't think that they are over the drug and use again because it is only being supressed by the naloxone/narcan.  Narcan usually lasts 20-45 minutes and if the person is suspected to begin overdosing again than another administration of 1 mg may be needed.  Narcan/Naloxone usually comes in two strengths .4mg/ml and 1mg/ml it should say on the side of the ampoule or vial.  So 1 mg is usually a 1cc amount.

The above answer is correct.  I'll kind of expound a bit.  The oxygen supplement is necessary even if a person having a heart attack is sating in the 90s.  The heart needs the extra oxygen to help keep the injury from expanding.  The pain killer is usually morphine for two reasons.  It helps with pain control and it helps the heart therapuetically to work more efficiently ....a third reason is to help the patient relax their breathing a bit.  Nitro is also given for pain relief by dilating cornary arteries and improving blood flow.  Retavase is the thrombolitic of choice in our hospital.  Most MIs are cause by a blood clot in a heart vessel and thrombolitics act to dissolve a clot quickly, helping to limit serious damage....time is of the essence.  The quicker the clot is dissolved, the less  damage done. Think of the old pacman game...and you have an idea of what is supposed to happen when thrombolitics are used.  Someting I forgot to mention, in the ambulance or the ER aspirn is given if the patient hasn't taken any.\n\nOther meds (depending on BP and arrythmias) may be given.  Often in the next day or two, the patient is taken to cath lab to investigate the problems of clogged heart vessels and then if needed bypass surgery or a stint may be done.

I slam my head against the wall until I knock myself out.\nWhen I wake up in the hospital, the morphine drip does the rest.

The values stated here will differ from hospital to hospital:\n\nCalcium: 8.5 - 10.5 mg/dL (2.1 - 2.6 mmol/L)\nPhosphate (inorganic): 3 - 4.5 mg/dL (1 - 1.4 mmol/L)\n\nNow, do the math.

depends on the medication. Tylox,up to 6-8 hours, morphine up to 4-8 hours depending on your condition. Hydrocodine  anout 4 hours Pericet approx 8 hours, oxycodine 8-12 hours, pot 1 month, so see it all depends on your pain tollerance and your condition.

Your friend was likely being treated by Hospice or was in a hospital or skilled nursing unit or nursing home.  The medical establishment has become increasingly prodeath, advocating euthanasia.  They kill by overdosing on morphine, sedatives and by withholding food and even water, as well as other medical care.  You don't have to do this.  You can take no more pain medication than is needed for any pain.  You can drink and eat or be fed through a stomach tube or intravenously.  You can get epidural medication to relieve pain, without the sedation of taking pain shots, if needed, oftentimes.  You can say to hell with you amateurs, I'm going to a special cancer center, such as MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. (I would advise this early on.)  Or you can go to Mexico and seek alternative treatments.  Don't ever let a doctor get you down, giving you a death sentence.  Who the hell does he think he is?  God?  No man has the right to say your time is up.  That is God's prerogative only.

i am very sorry to here about your family member. i have worked as a cancer nurse for over two years now and unfortunately, it sounds as if she is near the end. sometimes thats the hardest part of cancer (worse than all the treatments combined) if morphine is not helping her i would ask the docs for some type of continuous medication to keep her pain free. they offer those medications for at home use as well (not sure if she's home or where she is) but most meds can be given continuously at home. try the very best you can to keep her comfortable, let her know you are there for her, and just be a family. there are nurses who come to your home to help during these times as well. i hope things go well

hard to believe they are not draining water from her. I would suggest a new doctor.\nCan she live? Why would she want to?\nWould you want to, under these circumstances?\n\nIf she is on morphine....this is the last effort.\nI hate to tell you this. but. Once you start morphine, you can NOT stop it. The doctors already know her outcome. Thats why she is on it.\n\nI truely am sorry.

Doctor here. First of all accept my sympathies for the pain you are going through because of your step mother's cancer. Actually breast cancer is considered to be very dangerous ( though all other types are also very dangerous) because of its future involvement with spine and consequently to brain. From your given detail depicts that patient is in in Stage IV and in this stage cancer spreads ( metasteases) to other parts/organs of the body. Your doctor must go for Morphain Sulfate rather than for Tramadol. This medicine contains the active ingredient morphine sulphate, which is a type of medicine called an opioid or narcotic analgesic (painkiller). Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.  Morphain Sulfate is best known pain-killer for cancer patients and I have used this for few of my patients. Only treatment is to reduce sufferings and try to improve quality of life of your step mother. Disappointment is a curse so keep miles away.

Jesus provided an example when He mentioned that Cavid ate the shewbread meant for the priest. He and the disciples picked corn on the Sabbath.A relative had a baby that developed in her fallopian tube and as it grew it threatened the life of the mother.Something went wrong anyhow and a choice had to be made- mother or baby. Another person had a son who got his head jammed in a chair.He was brain damaged and doctors told her to decide whether to pull the tubes or not.They did; and he died.Morphine is a dangerous drug, but to a cancer patient in pain, the danger, side effects etc. are minimal. Many dead heroes/heroines failed to 'cooperate' during a robbery. The robber got the money and  took the person's life.Walk a mile in shoes that pinch and some people will choose before they complete the mile.There is a best (or better if there are but two choices)decision but right or wrong may be opinion in some situations

I was told this is safe to do, alternating every 2 hours.  (EG 10 am take advil, noon take tylenol, 2 pm take advil, etc.) And so you don't exceed the daily requirements of either.  However, vicodin is pretty high powered stuff, so I would make a quick call to your doctor or pharmacy about this first.
