Asked by PresidentBadgerMaster63
Mrs. A is a 45-year-old female with chronic LBP secondary to DDD. She has been taking Mobic 15 mg PO QD and Tramadol 50 mg PO BID for the past 6 months with little to no pain improvement. She is not a surgical candidate due to moderate to severe cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. She presents to your primary care clinic today complaining of continued pain with new onset of functional limitations. She is unable to maintain her ADLS or perform her daily chores due to her pain and would like “something stronger” to relieve her pain. She says her neighbor gave her some leftover oxycodone pills that really helped her pain and requests oxycodone.
Write the prescription as you would order it for Mrs. A. on the prescription pad in the directions for this case study. Do not forget to provide an order for the pharmacist to discontinue any previously prescribed drug that you do not want this patient to take.
