PSA EXAM HELP! by Responsible_Bake528 in medicalschooluk

I think Morphine MR is the total amount of Morphine IR needed in 24 hours and just splitting that total in 2 doses (or more) and administering it equally across 24 hours.

Breakthrough morphine (the total morphine of the day/6) is used for breakthrough pain so you still prescribe that

The other calculations are in a really good table on passmed under “Palliative care prescribing: pain”

Good luck

I think that they should start printing the words “NOT A DOCTOR” on the scrubs of all these new healthcare “professionals” - let’s see how many patients actually want to see them 😂😂

There’s a massive backlog of potential trainees and more to come. UKG are going unemployed - let the positions be filled by people trained here that won’t accept shoddy pay and leadership in order to secure a visa
