Sample 2

A patient has received a prescription for the Lidoderm patch. Choose the correct statement/s. (Select ALL that apply.)

1The patch releases drug into your body, which travels to your brain; it is an "opioid receptor agonist."
2Up to three patches can be applied at one time (over the most painful area), for up to 12 hours each day.
3Do not cut the patch; this damages the release mechanism.
4Used Lidoderm patches contain enough drug that could harm a small child or pet.
5The patch can be cut into smaller pieces (before the backing is removed).
