Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Which of the following is true of addiction? a) When the program asks a participant to move to a treatment center b) As an addicted person continues to use the drug s/he will need to use some of it to feel normal. c) When an addicted person stops using the drug s/he will feel worse without it than if he had never used it. d) As an addicted person continues to use the drug s/he will need more and more of it to get the pleasurable effect. e) All of the aboveWho is responsible for the opioid crisis: Purdue Pharma, the FDA, patients, people with a drug use disorder, or all the above? Where lies the blame? Anand Giridharadas, New York Times bestselling author of Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World, concludes: “if you look at the way in which the opioid crisis killed people, it is a direct, malicious, forthright set of choices by various actors that predictably, reliably, foreseeably killed very large numbers of people.” Do you agree with this assessment? Discuss.Which of the following are true statements? [Select all that apply.] The financial success of OxyContin is in large part due to aggressive marketing by its manufacturer. Opioid drugs are much safer than most prescription drugs. There is strong evidence to support the use of opioids for chronic noncancer pain. Abuse of opioid drugs presents a serious public health problem.
- Why are NFL players at increased risk for opioid and other drug use and misuse compared to the general public?Do you think the drug company, Purdue Pharma should be held liable for the current opioid crisis?According to the director of addiction services at the U of IL Hospital and Health Sciences System, when should you be wary of a treatment program for opioid addiction? a) When the program asks a participant to move to a treatment center b) When the program doesn't allow use of medication to assist treatment c) When the program has a religious component
- Why is alcohol perceived as acceptable for social use as well as for relieving stress and anxiety? Why do many people often forget alcohol’s harmful consequences?What role does naloxone play in opioid addiction? Question 4 options: It binds opioids to receptors more effectively. It stops addiction by binding to opioid receptors. It binds to opioid receptors without activating them. It is used in an overdose to provide pain relief.Why are drugs like heroin, alcohol, and cocaine still legal even if it is addictive?
- What are the Pros and Cons of utilization of legal and illegal drugs? Describe in 5 paragraphs.Experts suggest that the U.S. epidemic of opioid addiction has resulted from: pharmaceutical companies' and professional societies' pressure on physicians to prescribe pain-relieving drugs. inadequate physician-patient communication about alternative, non-addictive pain treatments. physicians' ignorance of opioids' addictive properties. All of these are correct.We have been discussing drugs and how they are categorized into Schedules. Although they have a high risk potential for abuse, Schedule II drugs do have legitimate medical use. It is important as the Medical Assistant to be aware of any signs of abuse when it comes to prescribing medications. What are some drug seeking behaviors to watch for?
