I'm a nursing student working as a CNA on a Ped floor.
My pt was switched from Dilaudid to Morphine.
And, then, due to her hypersensitivity to Morphine, she was switched back to Dilaudid.
I don't see any reasons why one would prefer Morphine over Dilaudid?
Would you please help?
Also, she was on PCA Dilaudid, then, the nurse would wait to stop the PCA dilaudid for a while before she administers Oxycodone.
I don't see any reasons behind this. Would you please help?
