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.”
