The nurse is performing medication teaching for a client after surgery. The nurse explains that the client will go home on tramadol, a nonopioid analgesic, for pain management. The client states, I can't take that, I'm allergic to NSAIDs.
 
  How should the nurse respond?
  1. Tramadol is an NSAID that doesn't cause GI bleeds, so you should be OK.
  2. Are you sure? I don't see that allergy listed.
  3. Not all nonopioids are NSAIDs. Tramadol is not an NSAID.
  4. Then you will probably have to stay on a low dose of your opioid analgesic.
