Answer» CORRECT option is (c) Fear of prescribing opioid drugs The best I can explain: The fear of prescribing opioid pain medications is known as “opiophobia”. Although PHYSICAL dependence and tolerance may develop, this should not prevent PHYSICIANS from prescribing medicine to needy patients. No patient should ever wish for death because of a physician’s reluctance to USE adequate amounts of EFFECTIVE opioids. Physical dependence is not equivalent to addiction. |
