What is Morphine Administration Guidelines about?
Morphine is an opioid agonist used to relieve moderate to severe pain and suppress coughing. It works by binding to mu receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce pain perception and increase pain threshold. Potential complications include respiratory depression, sedation, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and urinary retention. Nurses must monitor vital signs closely when administering morphine and educate patients about potential side effects.
