physical dependence
state of
produced by
A state of adaptation that is manifested by a drug class–specific withdrawal syndrome
produced by abrupt cessation, rapid dose reduction, decreasing blood level of an opioid, and/or administration of a drug that can act as an antagonist.
Addictive behaviors include one or more of the following:
impaired
_ use
use despite
diminished
c
impaired control over drug use,
compulsive use,
continued use despite harm,
diminished recognition of problems related to one’s behavior,
and craving.
Drug tolerance:
A state of adaptation in which exposure to a drug induces changes that result in a diminution of one or more of the effects of the drug over time.
Addiction
primary
dysfunction
A primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory, and related neurocircuitry
Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social, and spiritual manifestations.

The Pasero Opioid Sedation Scale (POSS)*
s

3
4
S = Sleep, easy to arouse
1 = Awake and alert
2 = Slightly drowsy, easily aroused
3 = Frequently drowsy, arousable, drifts off to sleep during conversation
4 = Somnolent, minimal-or-no response to physical stimulation
Remember—sedation precedes respiratory depression.
How to Administer Naloxone in an Emergency Setting:
When you find an individual who is suspected of overdosing:
attempt to
check for
V_ patient
give
if no
if no change
Attempt to waken patient. If no response, common signs of opioid overdose are constricted pupils, slow or no breathing, snoring sound, and blue, gray, or pale skin color.
- Check for pulse and respirations. Call 911.
- Ventilate patient (following CPR guidelines) for a few quick breaths (if the person is not breathing).
give them naloxone
If there is no breathing or breathing continues to be shallow, continue to perform ventilation while waiting for the naloxone to take effect.
- If there is no change in 3–5 minutes, administer another dose of naloxone and continue to ventilate the patient and initiate CPR if needed.
ways to adminster naloxone
affix
tilt
inject
Affix a nasal atomizer to the needleless syringe and then assemble the cartridge of naloxone (according to package directions).
- Tilt the individual’s head back and spray half of the naloxone into one naris (1 mL) and half into the other naris (1 mL).
- Inject 1 mL (100 units) of naloxone intramuscularly.
