What term describes negative attitudes and beliefs held about individuals who use opioids?
Stigma
Tolerance
Dependency
Withdrawal
Stigma refers to the negative attitudes and beliefs directed toward a group, including opioid users. Tolerance, dependency, and withdrawal are clinical terms, not social judgments.
Which barrier is commonly reported by individuals using opioids that prevents them from seeking treatment?
Fear of judgment
Easy access to naloxone
Lack of withdrawal symptoms
High program availability
Fear of judgment is a stigma-related barrier that deters many opioid users from seeking help. The other options do not represent common barriers to treatment.
Which communication strategy involves referring to someone as "a person with opioid use disorder" instead of labels?
Person-first language
Medical jargon
Indirect questioning
Rapid speech
Person-first language places the individual before their condition, reducing stigma. The other options do not address how language frames the person.
What is the recommended way to store prescription opioids at home to prevent unauthorized access?
Locked medicine cabinet
Kitchen countertop
Refrigerator door
Under the mattress
A locked medicine cabinet secures opioids from unauthorized access. The other locations are easily accessible and unsafe.
When you suspect an opioid overdose, what is the first action you should take?
Call emergency services
Administer water
Encourage the person to sleep
Offer a coffee
Calling emergency services ensures professional medical help arrives quickly. Other actions do not address the life-threatening nature of overdose.
Which example illustrates structural stigma against opioid users?
Insurance policies excluding coverage for addiction treatment
A person expressing fear of judgment
A pharmacist offering naloxone
A doctor prescribing pain medication
Structural stigma occurs when institutional policies limit access to care, such as excluding addiction treatment from coverage. Personal attitudes and supportive actions are not structural barriers.
Self-stigma in opioid use disorder primarily refers to:
Internalized shame and negative self-beliefs
Legal consequences for possession
Community-level policies
Pharmaceutical marketing
Self-stigma involves an individual internalizing negative societal messages, leading to shame. Legal issues and external policies are distinct forms of stigma or regulation.
Which element is a key component of reflective listening in reducing bias?
Paraphrasing the speaker's words
Providing unsolicited advice
Using technical terms
Focusing on background noise
Reflective listening centers on paraphrasing to confirm understanding and build rapport. Unsolicited advice and other distractions do not facilitate bias reduction.
Under the DEA scheduling system, most commonly prescribed opioids like oxycodone are classified as:
Schedule II controlled substances
Schedule I controlled substances
Schedule III controlled substances
Schedule IV controlled substances
Oxycodone is a Schedule II drug due to high potential for abuse with accepted medical use. Schedule I drugs have no accepted medical use.
What is a safe method for disposing unused prescription opioids?
Utilizing authorized drug take-back programs
Flushing down the toilet
Throwing in regular trash
Sharing with others
Authorized take-back programs ensure safe, environmentally responsible disposal. Flushing or trashing medications can lead to environmental contamination or diversion.
Which motivational interviewing technique supports empathetic engagement with individuals using opioids?
Asking open-ended questions to explore motivation
Confronting the individual aggressively
Providing direct instructions only
Ignoring client concerns
Open-ended questions encourage clients to express their motivations and concerns. Aggressive confrontation and ignoring concerns undermine empathy.
Naloxone reverses opioid overdose by:
Binding to opioid receptors and displacing the opioid
Increasing opioid metabolism
Suppressing respiratory drive
Enhancing opioid effects
Naloxone has a higher affinity for opioid receptors and displaces opioids, reversing respiratory depression. It does not metabolize opioids or enhance their effects.
Which sign is most indicative of an opioid overdose?
Pinpoint pupils
Dilated pupils
Excessive sweating
Hypertension
Pinpoint pupils are a hallmark sign of opioid overdose due to parasympathetic activation. Dilated pupils and other signs are not typical in opioid toxicity.
What is the maximum initial opioid prescription days' supply recommended by many guidelines for acute pain?
7 days
30 days
14 days
90 days
A seven-day supply for acute pain is recommended to balance pain control with overdose risk. Longer initial supplies are linked to higher misuse potential.
Which practice helps maintain security of opioid prescription pads in clinical settings?
Keeping pads in a locked drawer
Leaving pads on the receptionist's desk
Posting pads on the wall
Carrying them in an unlocked bag
Storing pads in a locked drawer prevents unauthorized use or theft. Leaving them in open or unsecured locations increases diversion risk.
Which policy change would likely reduce institutional stigma toward opioid users in a hospital setting?
Integrating addiction treatment into primary care services
Segregating opioid users in separate wards
Limiting visitor access for opioid patients
Requiring special consent forms solely for them
Integrating addiction treatment normalizes care and reduces segregation, thereby lowering institutional stigma. Segregation and special forms reinforce separation.
In a patient encounter transcript, the provider says "you addicts always...". Which communication adjustment would reduce bias?
Using neutral language and avoiding labels
Increasing use of technical jargon
Speaking louder
Shortening patient interaction
Neutral language and avoiding stigmatizing labels foster respect and reduce bias. Technical jargon or shortened interactions do not address derogatory terms.
Under federal guidelines for hazardous pharmaceutical waste, unused injectable opioids should be disposed of through:
Designated pharmaceutical waste collection systems
Residential curbside trash
Home recycling bins
Community center drop boxes for batteries
Injectable opioids are hazardous pharmaceutical waste and require specialized disposal via collection systems. Regular trash and recycling do not meet regulatory standards.
Which regulation specifically protects the confidentiality of individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorder?
42 CFR Part 2
HIPAA Privacy Rule
OSHA Standards
FDA Adverse Event Reporting
42 CFR Part 2 provides additional privacy protections for substance use disorder treatment records beyond HIPAA. HIPAA covers general health information but not the specific confidentiality rules of Part 2.
After administering naloxone in a severe opioid overdose, which next step aligns with best practice?
Continue monitoring and prepare for potential re-narcotization
Discharge the patient immediately
Administer a sedative
Avoid contacting EMS
Monitoring is critical because naloxone's effects can wear off before the opioid, risking re-overdose. Immediate discharge or sedatives are unsafe without professional assessment.
